The Career Coaching Process

Below is the basic structure.  In reality, the stages tend to overlap.

Free Initial Consultation
This gives the opportunity to decide if and how we will work together. You will have the chance to talk about your situation and outcomes, hear about the approach and ask any questions.  Cost varies according to different factors such as number, frequency and location of sessions and we will discuss what works for you.
Stage 1: Assessment
You identify your personality type.  (This is not personality testing.)  The Myers Briggs is a powerful tool that is tremendously helpful for career fit. You can identify the kind of work that you would love. Another personality type tool that we may use is the enneagram.  Understanding yourself clarifies your strengths and this forms the basis for your career path. Before coaching, it can sometimes be confusing because you have good skills in certain areas even though you don't enjoy them.  You will want to develop a plan based on what you're good at and what you enjoy.  I will also help you identify potential pitfalls and areas for development. We identify any inner gremlins that may prevent you from moving forward.
Stage 2: Gathering Other Information
During this stage, there will be a reality check on how things are now.  The focus is on gathering information about your skills and experience.  During this stage, you examine the basic aspects of work that need to be there in a career for you.  You will also be guided to begin identifying your deeper values - finding out what is really important to you.  
Stage 3: Formulating A Plan
You connect up the pieces of data from the previous stages and generate the steps you can take. Assessing whether any chosen job matches your values, skills, other preferences, needs and goals.
