Career Coaching to Value

What is “coaching” as it applies to the career transition field? In general terms, it is the effort one individual expends in order to facilitate another person’s ability to achieve a specific employment goal-be that goal related to salary, time at work, success, or status in the community, industry, or even just family.

Typically, coaching is by example and/or words-that is, through communications tailored to have the optimum positive effect on the person being coached. Career coaching is designed to encourage, assist and schedule the processes that the client needs to carry out on the path to achieving the maximum job satisfaction.

Is coaching therapeutic? No. Coaching has characteristics quite different from therapy; instead there is a relationship that is built upon trust, experience and the creative thought processes instituted by the coach and implemented by the client. To back up the coaches’ direct client contact, there are testing results to study, physical and mental motivational exercises to practice, reading materials to study, audio taped meditations to listen to while relaxing; that is, there are all sorts of non-verbal communications the client can utilize to extend the coaching when the person-to-person session has concluded.
