Retirement, a promotion, or even a career change can be an exciting achievement and the culmination of years of hard work. However, like any significant life change, like getting married, having a baby, losing a job or losing a loved one,  they can also represent daunting challenges that even the most experienced professional or courageous individual can find overwhelming.

When you’re facing a major transition, an experienced coach can help you cope with the change and help you make the most of this new opportunity.

Below, learn what a transition coach is and how they can help. 

What Is a Transition Coach?

A transition coach helps people deal with the stress, uncertainty and doubts that important life changes can bring. In many cases, these transitions can be imposed from outside in the form of layoffs, company closures and industry downturns. The current coronavirus pandemic is the major cause of such events right now.  However, many professionals find that even changes they’ve chosen and worked for can be difficult, stressful and emotional. Having a coach guide you through these transitions will help you stay energized and focused on the benefits of making the change.

What Do Transition Coaches Do?

In many cases, people feel they can’t talk openly about their doubts and fears, especially when they’re triggered by a positive life development. Transition coaches offer a nonjudgmental ear and a safe environment for talking through and expressing these feelings.

They’ll also ask challenging questions designed to help you develop a clear picture of what you want out of life and identify exactly what you’re afraid of. Perhaps you’re worried about meeting the expectations of those who gave you a promotion, or unsure if you’ll be happy in retirement without the satisfaction your job provides. Whatever transition you’re facing, including the changes that inevitably come from working from home, a life coach with experience will give you the tools to manage it effectively and take advantage of these opportunities.
