What is Career Coaching?

Career coaching provides a guide toward career fulfillment. Career coaching uses a process that helps people discover their true passion. Career Coaching will assess your talents, identify your needs, and provide the necessary motivation for you to accomplish your goals.

Consider career coaching if:

• your job situation or responsibilities have changed;
• you are feeling unfulfilled or dissatisfied in your work and in your life;
• you are unhappy or bored with the career you have chosen;
• interpersonal issues at work are getting in your way and affecting your performance;
• stress is affecting you emotionally, mentally or physically;
• you feel daily pressures are too burdensome.

How does Career coaching work?

A career coach challenges you to more clearly define what satisfaction in life means to you. This can be achieved by helping you to create a career assessment inventory and build a career development strategy. You are encouraged to develop a strategy for action with the coach and gain the self-confidence to proactively proceed with your action strategy. In a coaching relationship we will assist you in career planning and development that will:

• set both short and long range goals;
• determine action plans and monitor progress in attaining goals;
• keep you focused and on track;
• maintain a healthy balance between your personal and professional life.

Through career coaching you can achieve:

• More confident career decisions
• Strength and courage to take charge of your career
• Strength to face and deal with uncertain economic times.
• An improved current job situation or the confidence to make a job transition
• Motivation to advance a career to the next level
• Motivation to proactively design or redesign your professional life
• Insight to better understand your potential in order to seek the right career
• Increased potential for career growth and future earning power.
• Better balance between family and work
• Accountability

Why hire a coach?

A coach is your partner in going after the life you know you want and can accomplish, personally and professionally. A coach helps you hold yourself accountable for your life, to make sure you honestly strive to achieve your full potential.

Through discussion, specific exercises, and career testing we will identify your skills, unique talents, interests, personal style, needs and values. Through the information we collect during the process we will create a career plan that will help you achieve excellence in your work and your life.

When you decide upon a career, we'll work with you to outline a plan of action to help you realize your dreams.

A coach helps the client by:

• Asking questions to make you think
• Making you accountable
• Allowing you to focus on what “you” really want
• Helping set achievable goals
• Providing clarity and ability to focus on goals, aspirations and ambitions
• Challenging you to think "outside the box" in order to create real answers
• Making you look honestly and objectively at how you are responsible for many circumstances in your life
• Identifying obstructions/blocks to success
• Helping to focus on a meaningful career or educational plan
• Helping to determine innovative ways to build a business or career

Who should hire a career coach?

How long does the career counseling program take?

Career coaching normally tends to be short-term and goal focused (one to three months). A career coach works with you on an individual basis, normally on the phone or in person if necessary. Weekly sessions keep the process moving and the individual on track, acknowledging progress and clarifying the next steps. Many clients also look to the counselor to provide ongoing coaching as they take action to proceed with their plan.
