Career Development Coaching

Career need a boost?

Are you thinking about a change?

Change is inevitable. A static career fades into obscurity. Market forces cause jobs (even whole industries) to change dramatically from time to time, or disappear altogether. As we grow personally, our needs and our focus change as well. Change can be for better or worse. The key is to manage change in a manner that works in our favor. That's where a career development coach can help.

What is Career Development Coaching?

Career Development Coaching is an opportunity to explore your personal potential in order to:

•   Chart a course toward advancement in your existing career; and/or
•   Plan your transition into another career path, now or in the future.

Change without a target is chaos. Change with a definite focus becomes a journey that can be both exciting and rewarding. Your career development coach (often simply called a "career coach") will aid you in identifying and/or refining your focus. But that's not all.

Career Advancement

To remain vibrant and satisfying, your career must advance. Whether that advancement is defined in terms of the corporate ladder, or with respect to the scope of your work and having new challenges to explore, a career development coach can:

	Mentor you through the politics and help develop a viable advancement strategy
	Help you break beyond the confines of past thinking and perceived limitations
	Identify gaps in your knowledge base or skillset
	Gauge your potential for new challenges and/or new directions
	Help you clarify your intent and establish a strong commitment
	Be a sounding board for new ideas
	Bolster your confidence and expand your level of "professional polish"

Career Transition

Redirecting your career can be a very scary proposition, fraught with doubts and stress — or not. Having the company and support throughout such a transition of a trusted advisor can certainly minimize some of the doubts and help manage the stress. What more could you ask?

Answer: A partner with a vested interest in your success. Advice is cheap. Having someone willing to roll up their sleeves and work along side you throughout your evolution into a new career path is priceless. The benefits of partnering with a career development coach include:

	Detailed skills assessment
	Thorough needs assessment
	Expanded exploration of career possibilities
	Learn ways to maintain life balance throughout your career transition
	Clarify your short- and long-term intents
