Your Career Success Coach

How can I help?

My job as your Career Success Coach is to support, encourage and inspire you to move forward with your career.

If you are feeling stuck or unmotivated, career coaching can help you find new energy and direction.

If you just need some time and space to reflect on the challenges you are facing at work, coaching can provide it.

If you need practical support with your search for work, career coaching can guide you to success.

Whatever your situation, career coaching will help you to:

• discover and understand who you really are
• clarify what you most want
• identify opportunities to explore
• develop and implement strategies to achieve your career goals
  
  
  

Benefits of Career Coaching

The main benefits of working with me as your career coach are:

• you get individual, focused attention on your career situation
• you have a regular opportunity to concentrate totally on how you want to grow and develop your career which ensures you make progress
• you are supported, encouraged and sometimes to challenged by me so you think more creatively that you would have dome alone
• you benefit from a range of assessments and career exploration exercises to help you assess yourself and your career vision
• your confidence in yourself grows as I help you to see what you really have to offer
• you identify where you want to go next with your working life and are supported in finding ways to make these career goals become reality

I have worked as a careers professional for 25 years now, so I can draw on a large store of experience, knowledge and understanding when working with clients.

In each session, we will be working towards specific actions you can commit to, to make progress towards your goals. With coaching, you will feel more confident and motivated about your decisions and action plans.

The broad areas I can help with are:

Career Change

I specialise in working with clients who have reached the poiunt where they are ready to take action to find a more enjoyable and fulfilling career. My job is to support and encourage you while you take time to explore and understand yourself better. You need to know more about who you are, your skills, interests, values and personality if you are to make your next career move the right one for you.

Then you will need to find out what options are available out there in the world of work and assess how well they meet your needs. This research stage is essential if your career decision is to be the right one.

Knowing yourself and having a clear understanding of the options open to you will lead to greater career satisfaction in the long run. Career success coaching will make sure that you are supported through this process. Find out more about career change coaching here.

Job Search Coaching

Once you have a clear sense of direction, then it is time to take action. Career coaching will help you define your action plan and then take the steps you need to land the job you are dreaming of.

This means looking at creative job search tactics, paying care and attention to the application stage – whether it is a CV or an application form and preparing for a successful performance at interview. I can help you get all of these right. Find out more about job search coaching here.

Career Development Coaching

Maybe you are simply looking for support in managing your day-to-day work? Or perhaps you would value some ongoing support while you settle into your new career? Career Development Coaching gives you the chance to take time out to think about what is happening at work. You can then consider what you are doing and explore ways of managing your work and your staff more effectively.

In a hectic working day, this time for reflection is often hard to find, so it can be extremely valuable to consciously carve out a space where you can talk with a completely independent coach. I will help you assess your situation and work out the best way forward to ensure your career success. Find out more about career development coaching here.

How do we work together?

Coaching can be either face to face, by telephone or via Skype (or a combination of these) and coaching sessions usually last for 1 hour.

Before we begin working together, I ask you to complete an initial pre-coaching questionnaire, which will form the basis of our work together. However, the focus of each session is always on the issues you bring.

If you are working on a complete career change, there will usually be additional related information and exercises for you to work on as we proceed.

Coaching Programmes
My experience has shown me that Coaching Programmes are most helpful to enable clients to work through issues in more detail. When considering a major change of direction, it is beneficial to take some time to work through the issues thoughtfully.

In an initial conversation, I will discuss with you which coaching programme is likely to meet your needs and we will work at intervals agreed with you.

What next?

Why not take advantage of my Free Career MOT?

This is a great opportunity for you to stop and take stock of where you are with your career and to work out what the best next steps will be for you.

Start by completing a short questionnaire and we can then arrange to talk to discuss your career situation. You can ask any questions you may have and we can explore what support would be the most suitable for you

Just follow the link to find out more about the Free Career MOT and how to apply.

If we agree to work together, I will send a pre-coaching questionnaire for you to complete. This will help you to focus on what you want from career coaching and give me an idea of the key issues you want to work on. At the same time, we set up the date and time for the first coaching session.
