What is Career Coaching? A Career Coach is ... ? A Career Coach will ... ? What can I expect from working with a Career Coach?
What is Career Coaching? In all aspects of our life we seek advice or assistance from the experts. We go to a salon or barber to get a haircut. We hire a tax specialist to prepare our taxes. We take our car to the garage for repair. We seek the advice of a financial planner to help us with our long-term finances and retirement. Even athletes, musicians and actors seek the help of a coach to increase performance. Managing a career in today's economy can be complicated, to say the least. Seeking the guidance and support of a Career Coach could propel your job search and produce significant results. A Career Coach can assist you in developing a plan and defining strategies that will increase your opportunities for interviews and, ultimately, job offers. Coaching can also help you figure out your next move and how to reach your ultimate career destination. top
A Career Coach is ... A Career Coach is a trained professional who provides expert advice, guidance and support. A Career Coach strives to unlock a person's potential to maximize his or her performance. Coaching helps people learn to succeed and excel on their own. Your Coach is an impartial listener and observer who can often see your situation more objectively. They concentrate on where you are now ... your dreams and career aspirations ... and will then help you stay focused on your goals, strategies and action steps which will propel you to success. top
A Career Coach will ... - challenge you to do your best
- help you review all your options for those difficult career decisions
- empower you to reach your goals
- celebrate with you as you achieve each success
Coaching tends to be short-term and goal focused (one to three months). A highly-trained career coach works with clients on an individual basis, either on the phone or in person. Weekly sessions keep the process moving and the individual on track, recognizing progress and clarifying the next steps. A trained career coach: - asks questions to make you think
- helps set practical, achievable goals
- provides clarity and focus on goals, aspirations and ambitions
- challenges you (to go for the gold!)
- welcomes and reinforces success
