Career Development Coaching

"Jo assisted me to identify a number of skills and also experience that I already had which I alone could not see. My assumption of not having these skills held me back from applying for higher level positions. As a result of coaching I was able to see the number of skills I had which resulted in me applying for and achieving a higher level position". Kama Connolly, Dept of Correctional Services, July 2010

Individual coaching is goal oriented, motivational and solution focused, and is therefore highly effective in bringing about lasting, significant and positive change.

Career development coaching helps employees to:

• Define what job satisfaction means for them
• Identify personal strengths, preferences, values, capabilities and interests that are relevant to career planning
• Clarify career development options and goals
• Develop job seeking skills and strategies
• Maintain positivity and resilience
• Deal with change and ambiguity
• Increase engagement and create a sense of meaning and purpose from their job

We use a range of simple vocational assessment tools to assist employees to learn more about themselves. We also use the Harrison Assessment Tool to help identify your behavioural preferences against 156 work-related traits. This assessment allows you match your preferences to specific jobs and to generate career options and career development strategies.

Coaching Sessions

Coaching is provided either face to face (generally in your workplace) or via telephone. Telephone coaching suits clients who don’t want to spend time travelling to appointments, who want the freedom to engage in the process in their own space, who travel frequently or who are based outside of Adelaide. Many clients prefer phone coaching as it enables them to really focus on the coaching conversation without distraction.
