Chances are, if you are reading this, you are already in, or interested in, the career coaching space. It’s a growing market. With the job for-life an irrelevance in the 21 st century, many more people are making changes in career direction and tenure in jobs is reducing. Career coaching can be life-changing. Whether you're at a crossroads in your career or just looking for guidance on your next steps, having someone in your corner who knows the landscape can make all the difference. Yet for many of us, how to make good decisions about our careers remains a mystery. We weren’t given an education on how to decide on the right roles or work for us. Given this vacuum, you may also feel quite uncomfortable talking to your clients about their careers, especially if they are in a different field to you or are very confused or overwhelmed. So your career coach clients, whether in a firm or hiring you independently, need both a coaching approach to discover and nurture their talents and a practical framework to help them confidently make decisions about careers. While the modern career has been described as ‘squiggly’, not everyone wants to manage a career path that lacks structure. For many clients, what they most desire is a way of making decisions and having a solid toolkit for insight and goal setting. They want their career to be structured and intentional, even in a very agile and ever-changing career environment. Step forward… the Career Equation! The Career Equation is a fast and effective framework for career decision-making. Our ICF Accredited course using the equation equips internal coaches, exec coaches and people professionals to be able to quickly and deeply address concerns and confusions amongst their clients and help them rediscover their career mojo!
