Career Confessions Andrea Martin

Many of my coaching clients come to me wanting to be more productive because they aren't meeting some goal or expectation they've set for themselves. 
 
You can do a Google search and find hundreds of productivity hacks.
 
But is doing more really the answer?

Not always! 
 
So, how can you determine the productivity issues you're really trying to solve?
 
On this episode of Career Confessions, I'll walk you through some reasons we seek the answers to more success in all the wrong places. Then I guide you through some insight into how to dig deeper to determine what productivity really means to and for you. 
 
Listen in as I share how saying NO can help you find the time you dream of for your most critical non-negotiables. Plus, I share a fun exercise you can do to pull back from some of the forces pulling you in all different directions and find the center of YOUR vision for success.
 
Did you know that when you and I work together on your coaching plan, we not only create a performance routine that works for you while we work together, but we also create a 6-month go-forward plan for when our time together ends?

What projects do you want to be known for?
Do you want to be known as a leader or the go-to name for your dream project?

Are you sure about what you’re projecting when it comes to your personal brand?


It can be challenging to stay focused on who we are, so we project the right things in our personal brand while working on projects, paying bills, and raising our families. 
 
But if you don't take charge of evaluating and solidifying your brand, who will? 
 
And if you're not taking the time to check in on your personal brand, it can lead to a significant gap in how others perceive you and how you see yourself as a professional. 
 
So how can you evolve your brand to ensure it aligns with where you want to go next?
 
On this episode of Career Confessions, I'm sharing two topics that have recently been a recurring theme in my coaching practice. I'm also sharing some personal insight into how something I visualized for over a year came to be and how I intentionally released my emotions about the end of one big project before beginning a new one.
 
I'll walk you through some insider information I shared with my group coaching clients and some advice I gave a private client about why you must advocate for yourself in your career and how you can do so in a way that feels organic to you.
 
Listen in as I share the 3 things you must continually evaluate and reevaluate for limiting factors in your brand. Plus, I offer some homework for my listeners to help you make sure your brand aligns with where you want to go next. 
 
I have one private coaching spot open, and I'd love to take you to the finish line! But the only way to work with me is to apply—so fill out the form NOW!
