Three C's - Comforter, Clarifier & Challenger

1. SUPPORT SYSTEMS
FOR EVERYDAY LIFE & JOB SEARCH

2. WHAT ARE THEY & WHY DO YOU NEED THEM?

3. MERRIAM WEBSTER DEFINES IT AS;
A NETWORK OF PEOPLE WHO PROVIDE
AN INDIVIDUAL WITH
PRACTICAL OR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

4. EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE…
IN OUR PERSONAL LIVES
• TO BE OUR CHEER LEADER WHEN WE NEED A
“RAH-RAH” MOMENT.
• TO HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE WHEN WE WANT
TO TAKE SHORT-CUTS.
• TO BE THE INSPIRATION WE NEED TO KEEP
GOING WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH.
IN OUR JOB SEARCH
• BECAUSE THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
(IRON SHARPENS IRON).
• TO OFFER PARADIGM SHIFTS TO OUR
TRADITIONAL LINES OF THINKING
• TO CONTINUALLY INCREASE OUR “NETWORKS”
& ULTIMATELY, OUR “NET-WORTH”.
SUPPORT SYSTEMS
ALSO ARE

5. THE THREE C’S
A COMFORTER, A CLARIFIER, A CHALLENGER
(RETRIEVED FROM: HTTPS://WWW.FITWOMAN.COM/BLOG/BUILDING-SUPPORT-SYSTEM/)

6. “LISTENS WITHOUT JUDGEMENT AND
SUPPORTS OUR FEELING SELF”
A COMFORTER

7. A CLARIFIER
“SUPPORTS OUR THINKING BY
LISTENING AND HELPING US WORK
THROUGH OUR THINKING PROCESS
WHERE WE MAY FIND OURSELVES
STUCK.”

8. A CHALLENGER
IS SOMEONE WHO ENCOURAGES
US TO TAKE ACTION AND MOVE
FROM CONTEMPLATING AND
THINKING TO ACTUALLY DOING
AND LIVING OUR CHANGES.

9. IN EVERYDAY LIFE AS WELL AS IN JOB SEARCH, WE NEED ALL
THREE. WE CAN HELP OURSELVES BY ENSURING THAT WE
MAINTAIN BALANCE IN ALL THAT WE SAY & DO.
BALANCE…COMES FROM TAKING
WHAT WE KNOW AND USING IT AS A
MARKETING TOOL.
