You've got your degree now, but you're not sure of the next
step, or maybe you're not convinced it's even in the right
field. Or you're reasonably happy with the career choices
you've made, but you're not sure how to manage your career
successfully. You're walking a dark path in the fog; you
know others have made it through the darkness, but do you
have what it takes to do the same? Can you really imagine
yourself spending years building a career in the field
you've chosen? Or perhaps, the career is one that
circumstances or the opinions of other have chosen for you.
It may be a major that you just drifted into, or that was
recommended to you by a professor or family member. Maybe
you've taken a job in that field and you're wondering if
you're stuck now forever. Or you've completed your
schooling or terminated it, and are working at a
"place-holder" job while you try and decide what you're
going to do with your life.
Coaching can help you decide what you really need to do to
be true to who you really are, whether it be continue on
your current career path and seek to build meaning and
fulfillment there, move onto a new and exciting career
path, or go back for additional education to supplement the
training you've already obtained. Your coach can help you
define goals, and help you develop and follow a plan for
accomplishing them. Changing directions doesn't necessarily
mean you need to throw away everything you've done so far;
your coach can help you identify transferable skills and
accomplishments that can become real assets as you build
your new career! I've started three wonderful careers in my
life, and know that I would have benefitted from coaching
during these critical transition periods. As a result, I
have a real passion for helping people like yourself
negotiate the paths of change!
