Career Coaching

Career Coaching In Organisations

We provide Career Coaching and Career Development services for organisations who wish to provide their top talent with Career Coaching support. These services may be to support new Executives appointed from outside the Company. Or they may be for talented Mangers within the Company to enable them to plan, manage and develop their career.

Examples of recent Career Coaching assignments include:

• First 100 days Career Coaching for a new Marketing Director to enable her to make a fast impact in the business
• Career Coaching support for Managers that have attended a development centre to build competencies and clarify career plans
• Career Coaching for individuals to facilitate their career plans, for example enhancing their profile with senior management
• Exploring 360 feedback and its implications with members of a company senior development programme
• Career Development coaching to help an internally promoted Senior Manager to build leadership skills for the new role
• Career Development coaching for a Manager making the transition from a Functional role into a General management position

We also provide career coaching services to universities for graduate and postgraduate students. For example we support MBA students at Warwick University Business School with one to one coaching on a wide range of career development topics. At the Univeristy of Buckingham we provide career development workshops for both graduates and undergraduates. These cover how to write a CV that will get you interviews, how to prepare and be successful at interviews and assessment centres, as well as how to effectively market yourself through networking.

Our Career Coaching Clients report that it is the opportunity to work with a qualified, experienced Career Coach that enables them to achieve their career development goals. Career Coaching from an external Coach allows our Clients to work with a Career Coach, who whilst providing a sounding board and challenge, is committed to their success.

Our Career Coaching Approach

Our approach to any Career Coaching assignment is based totally on the needs of the organisation and our Client. We do not, like some companies, have a preferred programme, or approach. We find that the needs and the preferences of our Clients are unique, and for that reason we tailor our coaching approach to each individual Client.

Every Career Coaching assignment starts with a chemistry meeting between the Career Coach and Client. This is to ensure that the Client feels comfortable about working in partnership with the Career Coach to achieve his, or her, career development objectives. Our Clients say they find it invaluable to be able to have coaching in a confidential setting with a Career Coach who is independent from the Company.

We would normally expect a review of progress against the career development coaching objectives, with the Sponsor and our Client, at the half way stage and at the end of each assignment.

Our Career Coaches

Every Career Coach has extensive business experience and is professionally qualified.  Each Career Coach has a proven track record of supporting Clients to achieve their career goals. Our Career Coaches are all able, where necessary, to use 360 feedback and a range of careers’ related psychometric tools.  Please take the time to see what our Clients say about their Career Coach and the value of their coaching in their Career Coaching Testimonials.

Career Coaching for Private Clients

We work with individual Career Coaching Clients who are seeking a new role. This may be following redundancy, or as a result of a desire to change career path. Our Career Coaching enables our Clients to find rewarding and satisfying career opportunities that meet their objectives.

Our Career Coaching is specifically tailored to the needs of each Client. We work with Career Coaching Clients to:

• Establish the type of role that will provide most career satisfaction
• Create a sharp and professional CV
• Activate and implement a powerful self-marketing programme
• Prepare for interview and give a confident performance on the day
• Answering difficult interview questions
• Understand ability tests and psychometric tools
• To prepare for assessment centre and stand out from other candidates
• Establish your own business

Career Coaching from Experienced and Qualified Coaches

Every Career Coach is professionally qualified and has extensive experience of working with Clients to help them get the role that they want. Each Career Coach has expert knowledge of the design of selection processes, including approaches such as competency-based interviews and assessment centres. This experience comes primarily from having previously held senior roles in Human Resources or Search and Selection.

This experience means our Career Coaches can prepare our Clients so they can present their skills and experience in the most effective way for the type of job that they want. As a result our Career Coaching Clients are appointed into new roles which energise and motivate them, providing the platform for future career success.
