The Career Coaching Process
The first part of the career coaching process is all about self-assessment. You will learn about your personality, interests, aptitudes and values.
We will use certain tools to identify these.
It is a process of exploration and discovery.
We deep dive into your skills and strengths and ask, what is your WHY?
Think about how you might answer:
What words do others use to describe me?
- Have you pushed yourself to achieve things that go above and beyond?
- What are my values; what is the benefit of living by them and, how can I ensure that I do so?
- How have I been successful? What traits enabled this success?
- Have you ever changed the way you did something having received feedback?
- How can you identify transferable skills from your achievements?
You will learn about your...
- Interests and work-related values
- Aptitudes in preferred work environments
- You will learn to recognize that there are some non-negotiables
- Learn how to pivot

Setting Goals
Goal setting is mostly about identifying what you want to achieve and how. A well-defined goal motivates and energises. It inspires you, challenges you and pushes you to grow.
Boundaries and Boundary Setting
It is important to have clear boundaries in all areas of your life, but it is crucial in the home environment if you are working remotely.
