High-Performance Coaching to Overcome Career Stagnation

Does your energy at work feel drained? Have you lost passion for what was once a dream career?

Career stagnation is very common and may leave you feeling stuck in your job without any chance of progress and growing.

Thankfully, just like you became “stuck,” you can also become “unstuck” and move toward the career advancement you want with support like high-performance coaching.

What Does Career Stagnation Mean?

At one time or another in our lives, we reach that point in our career where it might feel like our job is repetitive, running on autopilot every day without a clear path to career advancement.

According to a study by Oracle, 75% of people reported feeling stuck in their careers due to a lack of growth opportunities for career advancement or because they were overwhelmed and unable to make career changes.¹

Continuously being trapped in your job will likely lead to burnout and happiness problems.

Working with a certified high-performance coach will help you take away the blocks to create professional goals.

How High-Performance Coaching Can Help With Career Advancement

High-performance coaching is suited for anyone who feels they’re stuck in a rut and needs to get the ball rolling again. Your coach will be able to help you find direction with personalized strategies to fit your career goals.

Most certified high-performance coaches will be working on the following –

Mindset – Coaches will help you turn challenges into opportunities rather than roadblocks, adopting a growth mindset.

Skill development – Pinpoints those places where your knowledge is lacking and helps in filling the gaps to help you move ahead in your career with no barriers.

Accountability – Regular check-ins by the coaches ensure you stay focused.

Career strategy – You identify a personal career strategy that articulates and aligns with your long-term goals in your career.

Signs You Are Stuck In Your Career

Lack of motivation – Counting the hours till your work day ends and dragging yourself into the office.

No learning – You don’t feel as if you’re learning anything new on the job.

Feeling undervalued – Promotions are far out of reach, and your efforts are going unnoticed.

No growth – You’re trying to climb the career ladder with no luck.

Strategies To Get Unstuck In Your Career

Your certified high-performance coach will try various strategies to help you move forward in your career, and most coaches will go through this framework.

Identifying the root cause – You might feel stuck because of your boss’s poor leadership or maybe you’re bored in your current career path.

Re-evaluation of goals – As we go through life, our goals and values are bound to change. A coach will help in redefining such goals and find fresh opportunities that align with those goals.

Networking strategy: Networking is important in career building. A coach helps you build confidence to form new connections.

Self-awareness: It’s an important feature in the growth of a person, both professionally and personally. It helps you realize flaws in yourself, what works for you, and what you need to know, setting you up for success.

Mindset Shifts For Career Growth

We often obstruct ourselves from progress because of the barriers we set up in our minds. A certified high-performance coach will be working on mindset shifts through cognitive reframing.

For example, instead of thinking, ‘I will never get a promotion,’ think, ‘How can I progress to get a promotion.’

Reframing the roadblocks as stepping stones can make our career advancement path clearer.

Skill Development For Career Advancement

Sometimes, we might feel stuck because of outdated skills. Through high-performance coaching, you can identify what skills you need to stay competitive, which could be technical skills or even communication skills.

This can help you to take more pleasure in your work, apply new learnings, and thus work your way toward a promotion.
