- Overcoming potential roadblocks. A career coach can also help you to identify any roadblocks to making a career change, such as needing additional education, more experience, or financial setbacks. When making any kind of career change, challenges are inevitable. But a career coach will be by your side every step of the way.
- Setting career goals. Once you have worked through the above, a career coach can help you to set reasonable, personalized career goals to help you take the next step in your career. They will also help you to work on your strategic career plan to help you continue to advance professionally.
