Strategic Self-Management^®

Quite often,  pressure for personal change is perceived as a threat of ones own existence. It awakes and feeds doubts about ones capabilities and dismantles quite often the self assurance. However, a healthy assertiveness is right now crucial to convince another employer making a job offer to him or to build up a self-employment.

Personal Change Management Coaching effectively supports employees effectively to find a new position inside or outside the company. At
BORA Consulting personal change management is based on the concept of Strategic Self-Management which has been developed and introduced by Ralf Borlinghaus to support individuals coping with personal change processes.

Strategic Self-Management starts with a change of perspective. The client starts regarding himself not any longer as employee but as an entrepreneur in terms of his own business. As such he has not lost his employer but his strategic customer. Together with his "Management Consultant" he starts analysing the reasons for the dismissal and the initial situation for a new start carefully. He checks his business model and his product portfolio. He works on his personal vision and mission for his personal and professional future. This is supported by appropriate analytic tools. As soon as the target is defined, the client works out a strategy and an action plan together with his consultant to find a new employer respectively a new strategic customer. BORA does not stop here but also supports the implementation of the measures. Additional services like checking of job offers, reviewing application documents and training of application and negotiation can be part of the process.

               The process allows the client to come up with his action plan and to start with its implementation after four weeks. He keeps in contact with his consultant on a regular basis also during the implementation phase to check the effectiveness of the activities and to make adjustments if necessary. A new employment contract should be closed after 6 months at the latest.
