Karen is a well-known and respected travel consultant, ending a 5-year buy-out agreement to sell her company. She wants to leave the retail travel industry, and feels overwhelmed about a major career change at the age of 51.

Challenge:

To clarify her next career move.

Solution:

Through a series of strategy sessions, weekly calls and execution services, we helped Karen:

Analyze and clearly articulate her career strengths, skills and values, allowing her to know what’s most important for her next move.

Determine and create a series of career possibilities that matched her skills, strengths and values, to be used as a reference for her next move. Identify the best opportunities to test these ideas on a practical basis, see what works best for her and pinpoint industry trends and areas that needed her skill set.

Create practical tools and exercises that helped her match the industry areas that need her services, with her skills and strengths. Strategize how to best create an innovative company that would utilize her skills to help conservation organizations and nature tourism companies.

Discover the best structure and accountability systems for her, allowing her to reach her goals in record time.

Results:

After only 5 months, Karen was consulting for non-profit groups.

After only 7 months, she is launching a news and public relations service focused on conservation non-profits, land trusts and nature tourism, Nature Media Network. Already has 4-6 clients interested in hiring her new services.

Karen now has a tested strategy to use for future times of change.
