About Career Coaching

What to expect?                               

Career coaching is a positive and interactive process that helps you “create the future” you want.  There is joint responsibility for outcomes between both you and your coach.  We like to start with a clear understanding of your background and most importantly what you want to achieve from the process (your objectives – see intake document attached).  We provide the structure and tools, but you set the agenda, the motivation and responsibility for the “homework” tasks.  There is usually at least an equal amount of time required on tasks between sessions as there is in “contact” time.

Confidentiality:                                   

The coaching service is confidential except in the following instances:

• When agreed with you, the general progress of these sessions may be discussed with management or those paying for the service, although most typically we prefer our candidates to provide the feedback to their managers themselves
• Or if you give us information for the purpose of discussion with others

Cancellations:If you wish to change the time of a session please let us know well in advance (at least 24 hours).  We may be unable to reschedule your session at shorter notice.

We look forward to working with you

Client Feedback

• Actually dedicating time & energy to stop from daily, operational demands to think about my personal strengths and objectives.

• This was a very beneficial and rewarding process, helped provide me with the skills/tools to evaluate myself on an ongoing basis.

• Tracey was incredibly adept at spotting patterns in my behaviour and career choices and in motivating me to address things that might be holding me back.

• Having the ability to talk to someone outside of my organisation about my career and gaining extra insight to what I can do to get to the level I aspire to.

• I'm feeling reinvigorated and am very excited about my career path and direction.

• I found this experience fantastic – it has opened my eyes to know that I have loads of opportunities that will assist me with my future career moves.

• The career coaching session was really helpful, as it helped me highlight my strengths. It also helped me realise what type of work I’d like to be in, and gave me a clearer idea of what I need to do to get there.

• It has given me a bit more self-insight to analyse where I could function 100% with total work satisfaction as well.

• I found the summary of results from my on-line answers helpful in realising my style, strengths and weaknesses. I REALLY enjoyed the opportunity to talk with Tracy about my career and bounce around some of the idea’s and concerns that I had about making a career change. I found the session enjoyable and hugely beneficial.

• Having someone outside of the organization look objectively – and enthusiastically – at my career, and possibilities for the future. The mission (visioning) worksheet that was sent to me was exceedingly useful, and is my biggest “takeaway”.

• Discussing the outcome of my on line questionnaire with the coach. It confirmed what career path I should be looking at and already have made some enquiries about things we discussed.

• The coaching session was most helpful to me, as I was challenged by the coach’s alternative perspective on my assumptions. 

• Getting the advice and clarity on my career vision. Fresh idea and views on my career planning.
