Coaching is a goal specific and personally-tailored approach to personal and professional development. There is usually a desire to change or improve something about yourself or your life and the coaching process enables the you to evaluate where you are now, gain clarity on what you would like to achieve in the future and assist you in working out how to get there.
The answer is pretty much anything! As a Career and Business coach I tend to work on the following topics but that doesn't stop us doing a bit of life coaching and helping you have better relationships too.
Job Hunting, writing an awesome CV, Preparing for Interviews
Career Decisions/Career Progression/Career Change
Professional confidence and self-esteem
Starting and growing your own business
Improving your business acumen (vision, strategy, planning, marketing, staffing etc.)
Dealing with difficult situations/people/conflict in general
Planning your return to work after maternity/paternity leave
Enable you to identify and establish realistic goals
Listen unconditionally and non-judgementally to you
Act as a sounding board for you to voice your aspirations and fears
Challenge you to step outside your comfort zone
Encourage and motivate you to take action and accelerate that action
Provides you with support and keeps you focused on your goals
This varies and depends how many goals you would like to work on. When working with one specific goal e.g. changing your career, it usually takes about three sessions to gain clarity on what you do want and have taken some steps toward that, you then may go on to have another 3 sessions to help you work out how to execute your career change and update your CV, define a job search process or how best to use your network.
I often work with career progressors once a month so they buy a bundle of 10 sessions to use over the course of a year.
Coaching can be face to face, online via Zoom or Skype or over the phone depending on your location and preference.
