Question

Could I benefit from a career coach?

Answer

One of the most valuable resources for people seeking help with designing and managing their careers is career coaching. Career coaching is a “hands-on” approach that meets the needs of people facing today’s complex, fast-paced workplace and job market. Career coaching is personally provided to meet each client’s needs, with in-person or telephone sessions. A career coach will empower you to make career decisions that are aligned with your strengths, values and definition of success:

• Offering you encouragement to be honest with yourself and others as you find out who you really are and what career path is right for you
• Assisting you in exploring and asserting your values, so you spend your time and energy on designing and developing a career that is important to you
• Asking questions to guide you in understanding what you need to hear, rather than what you want to hear
• Helping you see your situation as an outside observer, without getting overwhelmed by what overwhelms you
• Empowering you with the tools and information to move forward towards your goals.
