Career Coaching
Career coaching is a one-on-one interaction between a career coach and a client. Sessions can range from one to several depending on the client’s needs.
Career coaching involves interventions that enhance self-development and performance and is usually orientated towards setting and achieving goals.
It focuses on helping a client make career related decisions and deal with career related issues. Career coaching is extremely important, especially now, when we no longer stay in one ‘job for life’, there is greater job insecurity and people are working beyond retirement age.
A typical session could examine the following:
- “How am I working?” – what is the career question
- “Where am I?” – exploration and self-understanding
- “What do I want?” – looking at options, challenges, and information giving
- “How do I get there?” – action plans, strategies, resources, and reviews
