Here is an example tip:

Tip 3. Meet Your Own Special Wise Person

In your imagination you can return to your own special place anytime. This is your secure retreat. You will always be safe and happy here.

As you get to know your place you may wish to see a special person as your guest. It can be a person you actually know or someone you imagined. You can consult with this person, as you might consult with a coach and he or she will always be available to answer your questions and to share your problems.

It is very simple. Imagine the person who might be your coach and ask them your question. During the day dream you may receive an answer or you may receive your answer at unexpected times during your working day.

You will learn to trust the advice you are given. It is after all, only you harnessing your creative energy to give yourself advice! You are more likely to listen to and act upon the advice of someone you admire and respect.

You can use this technique at any time, but especially in when you are preparing for negative or difficult situations such as answering questions in an interview.

Working with my clients, I always help them mentally rehearse an interview by imagining the scene, the structure of the interview process, likely questions and wonderful answers, fielding the difficult questions, like 'Why were you made redundant?' and asking questions that at once reveal more good things about you whilst finding out important information about the role and what's involved.

By practising eventual success, you will have the confidence to face anything. Learn more about career coaching yourself.
