Is it possible? It is possible!"},"content":{"rendered":"

There has always been a tendency among workers to avoid career changes, a tendency that has intensified during the years of the crisis. It takes a special kind of boldness - some call it courage and audacity - to take the step to change careers. However, I invite you to read the signs, to decode the messages your body and your emotions are sending:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning you turn off the alarm clock and switch sides - and of course this is not due to last night's late night or accumulated physical fatigue
You set off for work and you feel that you will enter a dark tunnel where you will get lost and all your energy will be sucked out of you.
You have started to neglect your appearance - you don't choose \"outfits\" for work with the same joy and creativity you used to do
You are looking for activities outside of work with particular interest (e.g. gym) but once you start, you don't follow your schedule consistently
The topic of discussion in every social group is dominated by work, its content, its challenges and the widespread dissatisfaction it creates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you realize any or all of the above, change is necessary, it is the only escape, a \"career change\" is the only solution. Fear not; the obstacles of the mind are mainly the ones you have to face - fear and habit - everything else will come easily as they are fueled by positive dreams and passion! An experienced career counselor - Life Coach = Life Companion - will guide you. Irini Andrioti, a certified career counselor with more than 10 years of experience in business utilizing tools of mentoring, coaching, training will steadily guide your steps through your own sustainable action plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Coach, he will encourage you to focus on your present and your strengths.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


It is certain, even if you don't recognise it at first glance, that all the years of your professional experience have shaped skills that are unique and special that you didn't have at the beginning of your career and that enrich your formal qualifications and differentiate you from your \"competitors\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coaching<\/strong> will lead you to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg>an essential awareness of the \"I\",<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>re-determining the possibilities on a new basis,<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>clarification of objectives and formulation of an action plan<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>empowerment to meet them.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An action plan adapted to the new data of your professional personality may include training.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Individual actions i.e. personal development, improvement and enrichment of skills, adaptation to current market needs. Look at it positively and not as a chore! This is how you are renewed at work, you are regenerated, you are not allowed to stagnate, you become combatant and competitive again. Irini Andrioti, as an Adult Educator specialized in soft skills (professional and social skills<\/strong>) can help you to formulate and follow the right training plan for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the completion of the career counselling process, your counsellor will act as a Mentor.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


The Mentor (Homeric sage who took on the role of raising Odysseus' son in his absence) will act as a role model, guide and protector at the same time. A role model because Irene Andrioti, unlike other career counsellors, is not a psychologist but came from and continues to participate in the business world, so she will share with you timely knowledge and experience. As a mentor he will monitor the fidelity of the implementation of the action plan you formulated and as a protector he will empower you when you get tired, remind you of your goal, pull you a little before you break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare for the career change and don't shy away from it. Only that which changes evolves. Besides, don't ignore the fact that often, due to current circumstances, change is not an option, but an imperative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg>Businesses close down<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>Entire professional sectors are affected and changing their profile<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>Skills become obsolete and require adaptation<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I know what you're gonna say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg>I am too old for professional changes<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>A professional change means defeat<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>I'll have to start all over again, so I lose what I've invested all these years<\/span><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg>I find it difficult to learn new things<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The answer to the above and so many more is \"It's never too late to make your dream come true! After all, only you can. Maybe you can't do it alone. But it certainly requires that dream to nourish you, not eat you...\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
