Career Coaching - What Is It? Plan the path to a career that works for You

It’s important to find the right job. Today we are expecting to work on into later life and most of us will spend forty to fifty years working. The right job can enhance your life. It suits the way you like to do things and reflects who you are.

Ask yourself:

• Do I look forward to going to work?
• Do I feel proud when I describe my work to others?
• Do I know what kind of work suits my personality?
• Do I feel optimistic about my future?
• Do I feel my contribution is recognised and appreciated?
• Does my job make me feel energised, even when it’s hard work?

If the answer to any of these is no, then career coaching will help you to unlock your potential and develop a satisfying career.

The path to a satisfying career lies in knowing and using your strengths and by understanding your values. This knowledge will help you to align your career search to a role you are passionate about.

Career Coaching - When?Plan the path to a career that works for You

Our changing workplaces create new pressures and new possibilities. Right from school age most of us will experience events that mean we need to assess our career paths.

Career coaching will help when:

• Leaving school or university – you may be making decisions whether to continue to study or to venture into the world of work
• Encountering redundancy – often the loss of a job will lead you to question whether you want to keep doing the same thing or try something new
• Your career has stalled – perhaps you have been for a number of promotions and nothing seems to be working. Maybe you’re at a point where you need to take stock and make a positive choice about your career and where it’s heading
• You are looking for a new job – this could be the first time that you’ve looked for work in many years, you may need support to create the right impression on prospective employers
• You have a new job – you could be starting out in a new role and want to be more effective, grow your responsibilities and lay the groundwork for your next promotion
