We humans are a weird bunch, especially when it comes to setting and achieving our goals. If we want to lose weight or get in shape, then we get a gym membership and hire a personal trainer. If we go through a difficult time in our lives, then we hire a therapist or counselor for guidance. However, when it comes to our careers, we hardly ever think to seek guidance or assistance from a career coach – but why?
The goal of Career Coaching is to support participants in making informed decisions about their career development and trajectory. It doesn’t matter where you are in your career because Career Coaching can be helpful at every point of someone’s professional path.
A huge part of a Career Coach’s job is to identify your strengths and weaknesses, as a professional and an individual. In doing so, you will gain insight into the combination of skills and abilities that you bring to the table. Knowing your worth as a professional will help you tremendously during your career. Career Coaches also help you to establish and define your career path.
Career Coaches are trained to get to know you as an individual first, then a professional. The reason: many people choose their careers based on earning potential, discovering later that they are unhappy, unfulfilled, and miserable. A Career Coach is there to take your personality, qualifications, and passions and help you to find a career that is challenging, promising, and fulfilling to you. They also help you build your confidence in your career and in yourself.
Pearl’s Career Coaches are here to help keep you accountable and motivated. Like a good personal trainer, a good Career Coach wants you to reach your full potential and attain your goals. Therefore, a Career Coach will be there to motivate you, track your progress, and continually monitor to ensure that you are doing what you should be doing to get where you want and need to be in your career. By having that accountability, you are less likely to stray from your intended career path and more likely to work harder to reach your intended goals.
