“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some people dismiss the idea of working with a job coach because they are already employed. They feel that a job coach is just for people who are unemployed and looking for work. In reality, a coach can help you with professional development as well. Studies show that people who get support with their goals-no matter what the goal is-do better, 100% of the time. This is because they have help, accountability and the advice of an expert.

Career coaches help their clients reach their full potential in their careers. There are great benefits to using a coach, from developing your leadership strengths to learning how to manage change, an experienced coach can help you with any element of your professional life. 

A career coach can help you with these situations and more…

  • Career Planning. In this technological age, there are more and more new jobs popping up that don’t have a clearly defined career path because they are so new. This is where a job coach can help you determine your next steps, identify your personal brand and develop a vision for your career.
  • Burnout, Lack of Fulfillment or Challenge. This is actually a common problem. Many people are unhappy at work, tired of what they are doing, or don’t see a future in it. Fixing this problem is not always as easy as just looking for another job. It’s important to consider your next steps carefully so you don’t jump from the frying pan into the fire. A seasoned job coach can help you make the right choices to steer your career back on track.
  • Career Advancement. Have you had the same job for some time now and would like to move up? Are you unsure of how to approach your boss or what steps you can take to show you are ready for more responsibility? A job coach can help you become a top performer.
  • Difficult Work Situations. Career coaches can also help you prepare for and manage difficult situations at work. During your coaching sessions, you can practice tough conversations with your coach, learn how to manage conflict, and more. 
  • Work-Life Balance. Job coaches can also help you find work-life balance. If you are having trouble setting boundaries, working efficiently, and more, a career coach can help you discover and maintain your priorities in life and at work.
