Career coaching is an interactive process of exploring work-related issues leading to effective action in which your coach acts as both a catalyst and facilitator of your individual and, in turn, organisational development and transformation.

Your career coach will connect you with your passion, purpose, values, and other critical aspects of your ideal work.

Your coach will help you learn to manage your own career - whether you work for yourself or for an organisation. This empowers you as you face the typical 5-10 career changes in your life so that you can continue to grow personally and professionally through your work. 

You career coach also facilitates your process of developing and implementing a job search or business start-up plan in order to activate your Authentic Vocation™️.

Here are 10 ways your career coach will help you to find a fulfilling career:

#1 CONNECT

Your career coach will connect you with a deeper level of motivation than "just a job".

#2 EMPOWER

Your career coach will help you discover your passion and purpose and how to use these to guide your decisions, empowering you to choose work you love, make a good living, and still have a balanced life.

#3 BUILD

Your career coach is very different from career counselors or consultants because your coach will focus on building your career management skills, which will enable you to navigate future transitions.

#4 PROBE

Your career coach will probe for deeper levels of motivation that, when addressed, cause permanent QuantumShifts!™ rather than providing just a "quick fix".

#5 INTERACT

Your career coach will create effective coaching interactions by listening, providing feedback, asking powerful questions, observing, and modeling.

#6 REMOVE

Your career coach will help you to remove blocks to your career progress such as self-limiting beliefs, incomplete awareness of marketable skills, lack of purpose, and more.

#7 IMPROVE

Your career coach will help you to improve your ability to market and sell yourself in the job market regardless of economic conditions.

#8 INCREASE

Your career coach will help you increase your individual potential for career growth and future earning power.

#9 ASSIST

Your career coach will assist you in your becoming "career self-reliant" and in taking control and ownership of your own career development.

Your career coach will enhance your job satisfaction through the discovery of your Authentic Vocation™.
