I am a qualified Career Coach accredited by the Association for Coaching. In addition to my private clients, I work as an associate through the industry leader in career coaching 10Eighty
Giving honest career advice is part and parcel of a head hunters role, or it should be, in my opinion. Working with some of the country’s leading Career Transition Services over the years exposed me to the huge benefits that an Experienced Career Coach can bring to people at various stages in their career journey.
Here are a number of scenarios where people might typically look for help.
- I’m just starting my career and don’t know where to begin
- I’m unhappy in my current job but have no idea what else I’d like to do
- I’ve been unsuccessfully applying for jobs for months and don’t know where I’m going wrong
- I recently lost my job and have lost confidence in how to ‘sell’ myself
- I like my job but am not making the progress that I want
- I feel totally lost with my career and don’t know where to start
If any of these apply to you, I can help with a structured programme of coaching sessions, either face to face or on line.
A structured programme might well cover some, if not all of the following areas.
- Understanding your situation, clarifying career goals and helping with any immediate opportunities or challenges such as a promotion prospect or tricky boss.
- Profiling your workplace personality, making sense of your career experiences, values and motivators to determine what helps you thrive at work and your career pressure points
- Identifying your career talents, your strengths, skills, expertise, experience and track record as well as your personal qualities and as yet unrealised career potential
- Re-imagining your career and exploring career options which enable you to be at your best and which are also realistic and meet your needs
- Helping with all aspects of your professional marketing including CVs, LinkedIn and other digital profiles as well as interviews, networking, recruiters and head-hunters
- Practical advice, smart strategies and a trusted sounding board for moving your career forward, achieving your career goals and crafting the career you want
- Building professional confidence, maximising personal impact and performance. and developing management and leadership capabilities
