What is career coaching?

Career coaching helps you move from uncertainty to clarity.

When was the last time you were really listened to, in a non-judgemental, impartial, undistracted, and objective way? That’s what I do.

Career coaching is a partnership, where we figure things out together through curiosity, enquiry and discussion. I shine a light on things you might not be able to see for yourself. You come up with the solutions – I help you reach them.

You will gain:

  • Confidence and strategies for overcoming your limiting beliefs
  • Understanding of your values and life purpose
  • Clarity on your goals and how to reach them
  • Practical job-seeking / client attraction strategies and skills (if required)

“Vicki’s career coaching has helped me enormously. She uses a combination of practical exercises and insightful questioning to really identify what makes you tick: what you love doing; what you’re really good at; and, importantly, the kind of values and working culture that matter to you. It’s not just what you do but where and how you want to be doing it, and this approach has really helped me to take an all-encompassing look at what I want my next role to be.”

The benefits of career coaching

I believe that every professional can benefit from career coaching. I have a coach myself and have found it enormously beneficial in terms of self-awareness and motivating me to take action towards my goals.

My style of career coaching is perfect for you if you are:

  • feeling like you don’t fit in your current job but don’t know what to do next
  • looking for a new job or promotion, but need a confidence boost
  • at a crossroads in your career and want to explore all your options
  • dreaming of a new career or way of working and need clarity
  • in need of help to define or reach your goals

“Thanks to your coaching, I now feel much better equipped in the necessary skills for my job search, and am building / maintaining a sense of momentum which is contributing greatly to that search.”

What you can expect

Before we even begin our coaching relationship, I will ask you to complete a questionnaire, to help you get clear on what you want to achieve through coaching.

What follows is a free 45-minute chemistry session, where we decide if we’re a good fit for each other, and you can sample my style of coaching.

Once we have agreed to a schedule of career coaching sessions, we delve into ‘discovery’ mode, where we explore your current situation, motivation, and goals and then begin the work together to unlock your potential.

Coaching is not a quick fix but it can be transformative. Together we will work out a tailored programme of coaching sessions to achieve the best results for you. This is usually based on my Clear Career Path, an eight-session programme of reflection, action-taking and accountability.

When you have reached clarity on your career goals, I can switch to consulting mode if appropriate. Using my 23 years of recruitment experience I can review your CV, provide interview practice, advice on your LinkedIn strategy, and job search.

If you’re looking for a CV review or other job-seeking advice, rather than a full programme of coaching, I offer focused 90-minute sessions. Please contact me for details.

“There’s a saying that people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Vicki ticks all of these boxes for me. So, whichever season of life or career you are in, I would not hesitate in recommending Vicki to help you on your journey.”
