Investing in career development support develops new skills, accelerates careers, resolves challenges, and increases satisfaction at work. It can have a profound impact on organisational performance, with an increase in productivity, teamwork, engagement, and a decrease in people-related issues like absenteeism.*
I offer a professional and trusted career coaching service designed to help managers up to senior level career professionals navigate challenges, develop key skills, seize opportunities, and move forward with confidence and clarity.
*(Studies on the positive impact of career coaching include ICF’s Global Coaching Client Study and CIPD’s Research Reports on Coaching and Mentoring).
Career Development Coaching Outcomes
My coaching is tailored to each person and includes a robust coaching plan with clear objectives, actionable strategies and measurable progress. My process often includes creating a career vision and defining the value they bring.
Here are some of the typical outcomes I help coachees achieve:
- Skills Development: develop critical skills such as strategic thinking, leadership and presentation skills
- Smoother Career Transitions: ensuring a confident start for maternity leave returners, career break returners, internal secondees and transferees.
- Enhanced Performance and Results: addressing and resolving issues that are affecting personal success.
- Improved Personal Effectiveness: support in managing heavy workloads, taking on more responsibility and complexity, prioritising commitments and dealing with overwhelm.
- Stronger Relationships: learning to work well with different personalities, handling multiple stakeholders, and feeling empowered to navigate conflict.
- Healthy Mindset: restoring confidence, building resilience, and finding strategies to handle self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism and people-pleasing.
- Getting Promoted: support for stepping up to the next level
Working with an objective, external coach allows employees to speak openly, surface hidden challenges and resolve issues more effectively.
Results can be measured through: standards of achievement / feedback / behavioural change / personal growth / satisfaction / sense of well-being.
Real people, real results
