Why should you take help from a Career Coach?

Working with a career coach is working with someone who genuinely shares the same ultimate goal you have, creating and adding excitement during the process! The one-on-one career coaching experience is an excellent way to:

• receive personalized advice, support, and guidance when making career decisions.
• determine what steps to take and strategies to use.
• Come up with a customized plan that will keep you on track to accomplish what you set yourself out to do.

To benefit from career coaching, you have to be willing to be coached. Meaning, you’re open to new ideas, willing to make changes, welcome constructive criticism, and ready to take action. Results come from taking action, making all of your hard work and efforts worthwhile!

What is a Career Coach NOT?

A career coach is not a counselor or therapist. A career coach helps you develop proficiencies, whereas a career counselor helps their clients overcome deficiencies.

What will a Career Coach Do for you?

• challenge and inspire you to do your best.
• be there to support you every step of the way.
• give you feedback, back you when times get difficult, and will be honest and up front.
• hold you accountable.
• tell it like it is—not letting you get off easy when it comes to stepping up to the plate (unlike friends, co-workers, and spouses).

A career coach is your personal advocate and is there for you during a time that’s often filled with stress, doubt, and fear.

Career coaching will serve you best IF you’re willing to…

• put forth effort and do the work.
• let the coach do the coaching.
• “Try on” new concepts or different ways of doing things.
• change self-defeating behaviors that limit your success.
• And, you’re acting of your own free will (not at the bidding of others)
• ready to make the commitment to achieve
• serious about moving forward and making changes to reach your goals.
