7 STEPS FOR YOUR CAREER
COMEBACK
RECONNECTING-Your colleagues know what you're capable of (and if not, remind them). Time to get to know them better because they can be your best resource for introductions to the right people with an opportunity for
you.
NETWORKING-Widen your network by building new relationships to uncover hidden opportunities. Most times, it's how you strategize your outreach and the number of contacts you make.
VALUE PROPOSITION-Prepare to share how you create business impacts (get the value
proposition guide). When you present your value, you can get introduced to executives that can open doors.
STRATEGY-Plan your OUTREACH and positioning within
the companies and professionals you'll need to approach.
RESEARCH-Dig...Get to know the people, company, mission and challenges. Your questions will demonstrate curiosity and set you up to describe your expertise and get
introductions.
COMMUNICATION-If your network is convinced that they'll benefit by knowing you, they will be advocates and make introductions. Written and verbal communication skills are critical.
GET HELP (totally optional but worth it)-Take a course or get individual help so you have
guidance and perspective to make this happen faster and with less frustration. This is one of those actions that is worth the financial investment and usually has an extremely fast ROI.
You know all of those skills you have for leading, communicating value, collaborating and creating roadmaps?
Now it's time to apply them to your comeback.
