Why Flexibility Matters in Growing Your Career
I was humbled when workplace futurist Marti Konstant reached out and invited me to share insights about my coaching business for her blog. Marti is a true trailblazer—an agile thinker, career growth analyst, author, speaker, personal brand architect, and founder of the Agile Careerist Project™.
When she asked me to discuss the “business model” behind my work, I had to pause. The phrase made me sit back and reflect, thinking, What is my business model, exactly? That question turned out to be an insightful lens for considering not just my coaching work, but the career journeys of the people I serve.
In Marti’s words:
“While researching different types of coaches (life, career, and executive), I uncovered a refreshing approach from millennial career coach Lea Berry. Her program includes career coaching, job search strategies, resume writing services, career bootcamps, personal branding workshops, and an assortment of career development programs mid-level professionals looking for career guidance.”
Her perspective struck a chord because it reinforced a key truth: flexibility is at the heart of everything I do—and it’s essential for both navigating your career growth, but also rising to the demands of the current job market.
Why Flexibility is Crucial for Career Success
My approach to coaching reflects the evolving, ever-changing paths that professionals navigate today. No two career journeys are alike, and the solutions we need can’t be one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re exploring a career change, building a professional brand, or looking for strategies to get promoted, success often lies in staying adaptable, curious, and open to new opportunities.
Flexibility allows us to respond to change with confidence instead of fear. It enables us to:
Pivot careers without starting over.
Build a personal brand that evolves as your goals shift.
Stay ahead of workplace trends like AI, hybrid-workplaces, digital transformation, and skills-based hiring.
That’s why I focus on creating tailored solutions for my clients. From leadership and career coaching programs and job search coaching to personal branding strategies and actionable career transition plans, my goal is to equip professionals with the clarity, tools, and confidence they need to navigate their next steps.
The Future of Careers: Dynamic, Not Linear
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to align your career with your purpose, flexibility might be the missing piece. Here’s what it can do for you:
Help you switch careers without losing momentum.
Create a strategic personal brand that helps you stand out to hiring managers.
Open doors to career growth opportunities you may not have considered.
Position you for success in a rapidly changing job market.
