On an exclusive individual approach, our experienced and internationally renowned career coaches will listen and observe your professional concerns and adapt their approach to your needs, and find solutions and proven strategies that guarantee your professional advancement.
Our career coaching and counseling sessions aim to help you as a professional make informed decisions about your career development and trajectory, as well as various tools you can use to achieve your goals.
Coaching tends to be a solution-focused approach, which involves working with you to see what concrete steps you can take to achieve career goals. The Counselling side, however, is more process-oriented - we look at whether there are any behavioral, emotional or psychological issues that could be detrimental to desired career ambitions.
The fundamental virtue of this career coaching is to help you assess your professional situations with a greater degree of honesty, curiosity, empathy and compassion.
Approaches |
Our career coaches use a number of assessments to help you, such as personality tests, interest inventories, achievement exercises that identify what you are most proud of, and job description analyzes that can identify the type of work and the workplaces that are the best fit for you.
Plus, we put you on a stronger footing, not only with a well-crafted resume and appropriate career path, but also with a mindset that helps you understand that today's career path is not as direct as it might have been in previous generations.
Professional frustrations most often from clients |
It's no surprise we hear, "I hate my job, but I don't know what else I can do!" But what might be a little surprising to some is that we also tend to hear things like "I have no idea what I can do with these skills" and "I need help figure out exactly what I want to do - and how to get there."
Job search anxiety is also something we encounter frequently. And, lately, an ever-increasing number of clients are expressing their frustration at using social media, especially LinkedIn, as an aid in their career goals.
Success Story |
Take the example of a client – a stay-at-home mom who was motivated to return to work, but was hesitant to use social media in her job search because she doubted its usefulness. After a few sessions showing her how a community of like-minded people used these networks to get her message across, she came up with the idea. Less than a year after working together, she's landed a coveted job as chief financial officer — and she attributes it in large part to her social network.
Our ideal client |
Someone who is open to new ideas, willing to step out of their comfort zone, and motivated to get into the work that is the process of finding a job and changing careers. Additionally, a good client allows the coach to be a partner in this process. It's actually essential because there are so many tricky steps along the way, whether it's a tough job market or a very long career change. Clients should therefore ask for as much help as possible in order to be successful.
Heed advice |
We have a client who ended up in a terrible situation. He knows what he wants to do, but for some reason is sabotaging the process by ignoring our advice on how to effectively revamp his resume and network. He applied for what he saw as his ideal job, but due to a lack of following and networking, the opportunity disappeared.
What brings us the most satisfaction as coach |
Nothing compares to clients gradually recognizing that there is hope in their situation, especially after starting the process feeling lost and hopeless. We've seen professionals feeling utterly disenchanted with their careers or job prospects - even apathetic and unmotivated to change circumstances - only to feel freshly inspired and motivated to push forward with new ideas.
The golden rule of job satisfaction |
If you're doing something you really and truly love, it shouldn't feel like work at all. Ideally, you should feel a sense of alignment between your work and your values. It is only in this space of overlap - which may or may not relate to your sense of purpose in the world - that a true sense of satisfaction or professional fulfillment becomes possible. If you want a job that fulfills you, it's essential to align.
