Career Coaching is a specialist service for private and organisational clients supporting career identification, change or development, and/or for those facing redeployment and redundancy. The path of coaching very much depends on where you are now and what you want to achieve.

 

For those confused by what they want to do next, I recommend a holistic approach which works to create self-awareness of your desired purpose in life, your values, strengths, interests/motivations, achievements, transferable experience, development areas, ideal work environments and the realities you need to factor in to your career planning and decision-making.

 

Role-play, mock interviews, and CV feedback can all be provided as part of the fees. NLP and positive psychology techniques are also offered (as part of the service) to help build self-confidence and motivation, manage nerves, and building effective communication skills.

 

Diagnostics can be used to create a baseline and stimulus for your development and choice of future positions or organisations. These can include psychometric tests e.g. Career MBTI, Strong Interest inventory, and Career Orientation which then summarise possible occupations to match your profile.

 

When you sign up for more than 4 sessions, you will receive complimentary profiles for learning and thinking styles as well as self assessment audits to illicit your values, beliefs, motivations, skills and abilities. You will also receive a resource guides which consists of:

 

            “Career Resources toolkit” – useful websites, books, organisations, publications, and psychometric tests which can assist with detailed job search.

            “Networking for Career Opportunities”

            “Making the most of your CV”

            “Confidence and relaxation techniques”

 

The purpose of these guides is to ensure that the coaching sessions can be used for just that – coaching (helping you to find the answers and way forward for yourself that is right for you). However we accept that when it comes to your career you can at times feel completely lost where coaching may not be enough to help you through the maze. The guides therefore act as stimulus for thinking and save you time and energy in sourcing, researching and reading so that you can move on more quickly and get into action.
