The only career advice that most people received was when they were at college, and that was usually about qualifications or who was offering the best graduate training. Most people just fall into a career, with no clear direction, sometimes with promotions and better opportunities following. But today people have the opportunity to take more responsibility for their personal and professional development, and even those employed by large corporations can no longer rely on their employer to provide them with a career ladder to climb.

At some point we reach a crossroad in our career, caused either by a change in personal circumstance or an external event like redundancy, and we ask ourselves:

• Do I want to continue to do this for the rest of my working life?
• What is it that I really want to do?
• How can I make the transition to what I really want to do?

At this point we start to focus on where we currently are, where we would like to be, and to figure out the journey between the two. The individual’s skills and strength are examined to lead to the next step, which involves developing a strategy of how to get to where he or she wants to go. Coaching can help if you have too many choices or if you haven’t yet found your ‘calling’. It can help you analyse your skills and strengths, look at your core values and focus on your motivations, guiding you in the career direction that suits you best.

Career coaching helps you see beyond the uncertainty of your present to a clear vision of your future, giving you the tools to help you move forward. People who are happy and motivated by their work are in careers that reflect who they are. To help unlock your potential, your coach will take an in-depth exploration of who you are:

• Your core values and beliefs
• What you want to achieve in your career and in life
• Your interests, passions and achievements
• Your most positive attributes and personal strengths
• What makes you happy

This is about gaining self-knowledge, and your coach can show you how to use this knowledge to make the right choices in your life and career. You will be able to see, for the first time, a clear path to who and what you can become.
