Career In Limbo, I'll Tell You Why A Career Coach Can Help
Hiring a career coach is just like hiring a personal trainer. They can help you to establish realistic goals and give you a plan on how to reach them. A career coach will personally work with you to plan out a strategy to improve your prospects of moving up in the business world. In addition to planning your route to success, a career coach will also ensure that you stay on the appropriate path in order to reach your goals.
A lot of people are intimidated at the thought of hiring a career coach, but this is because they do not fully understand the position. A career coach is hired to act as your friend, partner, and business ally. They are in no way, shape, or form hired to degrade you and tell you that your goals cannot be reached. The role of your coach is to listen to you, and then give you positive feedback. They assist you in helping to find new career goals, and realize the potential of particular situations. Also, anything you speak about with you career coach will be kept confidential.
If you are reluctant to hire a career coach because you think that it is the same as hiring a therapist, you need to clear your mind of these thoughts. A career coach well help you achieve your goals, and reach your maximum potential. On the other hand, a therapist is hired to tell you why you are not fulfilling your goals and why you feel inadequate in the business world. As opposed to a therapist, a career coach is upbeat, energized, and goal oriented, just like you.
Time should not be a factor in considering whether or not you need a career coach. Everybody has time constraints, and these coaches will work around your schedule. If you can only speak at lunch or on weekends that can be arranged. It is important to remember that coaches will work with you face to face, over the phone, or via email. And not every session has to be long. You can specify up front how long you want each session to last.
Being able to track your success can sometimes be a difficult task, and is different with each and every person. One obvious way to judge if your career coach is working is to see how many of your goals you have reached. Also, ask yourself if you have been feeling more self confident and motivated. If you feel like you are not getting what you should out of your sessions explain this to your coach and devise a plan to get back on track.
Overall, a career coach is a great way to achieve your goals and reach your maximum potential.
