At Lisa Fitzpatrick Coaching, we believe that taking control of your career is one of the most powerful steps you can take to unlock your potential. I recently had the pleasure of speaking and hosting a career clinic at Jobs Expo Ireland in Croke Park, where the focus was all about "Taking the Driver’s Seat and Proactively Leading Your Career."
It was a great experience, and I’m excited to share the key insights and lessons from our session.
Crafting Your Career Story
The first topic we tackled was Crafting Your Career Story. Your career is a journey, and your story is the roadmap. Being able to communicate that story with clarity and confidence is key to standing out, whether you’re entering the job market or aiming for your next promotion. At Lisa Fitzpatrick Coaching, I guide clients in finding the narrative that connects their strengths, experiences, and future goals, so they can make lasting impressions on hiring managers, networks, and colleagues alike.
Mastering Interview Techniques
Next, we delved into Mastering Interview Techniques. Interviews are often seen as a hurdle, but they’re actually a fantastic opportunity to showcase who you truly are. We discussed practical strategies to help participants prepare effectively, answer tough questions with confidence, and engage meaningfully with interviewers. Mastering these techniques will not only boost your chances but also help you approach interviews with the right mindset—one of opportunity and connection.
Developing a Proactive Career Mindset
The final area we covered was Developing a Proactive Career Mindset. In today’s rapidly changing job market, it’s essential to stay ahead of the curve. Taking a proactive approach means setting clear career goals, seeking out growth opportunities, and continuously pushing yourself to learn and evolve. It’s about taking ownership of your career trajectory rather than waiting for opportunities to come your way or not. At Lisa Fitzpatrick Coaching, I work with clients to cultivate that mindset and gain that confidence so they can take intentional steps toward their success.

It was a great experience to meet so many attendees who were eager to diversify their careers, explore opportunities post-graduation, and navigate their career paths with purpose.
