It is hard to believe we are two months into the new year! For many, including myself, the start of 2024-like every year-brought with it resolutions and commitments to career advancement and skill enhancement.
I’m very good at setting goals and making lists, especially when new office supplies are involved! Hand me a blank journal and a nice pen, and you’d be amazed at what I plan to accomplish.
Yet, as the initial enthusiasm of the new year (and new office supplies) wanes and the daily routines of work and life set in, actually sticking to one’s goals can become a formidable challenge.
Career coaching is about nurturing and supporting the clients goals-keeping them on track and motivating them to stick with it as the grind of achieving their goals set in. This is one thing I love about being a career coach - I get to help clients define and set goals and strategize ways to achieve, and then motivate them towards [their version of] success.
Since no two clients are the same, this process - among other charges of a career coach - takes skill and varying technique.
How do we as career coaches and professional development specialists hone this skill and learn to vary our technique? How do we devise new and creative ways to ensure clients stay on track? How do we implement innovative coaching strategies so our clients can overcome job search slumps or career indecision? How do we shift our coaching styles to motivate a diverse clientele?
This is where structured learning and expert guidance step in as critical allies in your quest for advancing your own expertise in the field. Coaching is about teaching and developing and guiding your clients. But it is also about learning and growing and challenging yourself.
