Why Use a Career Exploration Coach Anyway?

No matter your age or career stage, identifying a fulfilling career pathway can sometimes be a confusing and daunting task. There are so many possibilities and opportunities to choose from and those are only the ones you’re aware of. Identifying, exploring and condensing viable career opportunities may feel overwhelming, especially when you consider you will most likely spend 90,000 hours at work over your lifetime.

So, how do you best approach your career exploration journey so that you avoid information overload and overwhelm? You don’t want to emerge from the experience more disheartened and confused than when you set out.

That’s where having someone in your corner can dilute some of the anxiety associated with identifying a career pathway. Let’s take a look at how partnering with a Career Exploration Coach can provide you with greater clarity, and much needed support, as you embark on your career exploration journey.

Should I Partner with a Career Exploration Coach?

This is an excellent question given the abundance of quality, self-directed career exploration material readily available to the career explorer. The answer I feel is best captured by an analogy I once read in a blog penned by Carolyn Hamilton-Kuby:

“Windscreen wipers don’t stop the rain, but they do help create a clearer vision so that the driver can move forward toward their desired destination.”

Ponder that for a moment, and I promise I’ll come full circle!

Time is One of Your Greatest Assets – Don’t Undervalue It

We all agree that setting aside time to dedicate to ourselves is a good thing. But sometimes, the time we have prioritised for ourselves turns into something else. No matter how good our intentions are to dive into that much needed activity, piece of research or telephone call to an identified bridging person, we so often find ourselves off-task and lacking the resolve to re-engage with our original purpose.

You can, however, ditch the endless distraction and procrastination by acknowledging that time is one of your greatest assets. When you partner with a Career Exploration Coach you are much less likely to wriggle out of a scheduled coaching session or decide at the last minute that the dog ate your homework. Why? Because you have a stake in the result!

Get Your Head in the Game

Coaching is a structured, yet collaborative, process designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools you’ll need to identify a career pathway of your choice. The secret ingredient to successful career exploration is of course the adoption of a framework. At Career Logic, the framework of a career exploration coaching package takes into consideration the following elements:

  • Modality – how the coaching sessions are delivered
  • Frequency – how regularly we schedule our coaching sessions
  • Content – linking enhanced self-knowledge to career opportunity awareness
  • Takeaways – to strengthen new connections and promote insight

The magic of coaching resides in the combination of the above four elements. Remember, this is for YOU so take the time you have carved out for yourself to discover the ‘who’ and ‘why of the career exploration puzzle.

The Power of a Coaching Partnership

There is no denying it, career exploration coaching requires a dedicated investment of time and resources in order to facilitate desired growth. But it’s also a safe space dedicated to the sharing and discovery of knowledge and tools that will give your career exploration journey the focus and direction it deserves. I’m not just your Career Exploration Coach, I’m also your change agent, your cheerleader and your accountability buddy. 

You Can Embrace Change with Confidence

Coaching can be applied to any situation where we are dealing with change and career exploration is no exception. Navigating change, whether it be starting out, choosing or changing career can be an uncomfortable and lonely journey. But it doesn’t need to be that way and that’s where I come in! Say goodbye to the days of settling on a career just because it pays you well or it’s what you have always done. You can identify a career that sets you alight.

As promised, and coming back to my opening analogy, the one thing I can share with you is that partnering with a Career Exploration Coach will assist you in identifying a clearer vision for your future. I will support and encourage you to make the moves toward your desired destination whilst giving your self-confidence a boost.

So, if you’re ready to identify a future that lights you up, feel free to book a convenient time to chat to see whether career exploration coaching is the right fit for you. You never know, you may just be taking the first step towards your new career

I want to thank you for all the work you have done in helping me navigate this transition period. The work we have covered throughout our sessions has been invaluable and I will carry this new knowledge and information with me throughout this journey. 

I now truly understand the importance of taking action and not waiting for opportunities to come to me.

Liam

At a time when I wasn’t sure about the direction my life would take after finishing University, Bronwyn was there to guide me. I think it’s so important to look to other channels for guidance other than friends or family.

I’m so happy with my detailed profile which also highlighted for me a number of career pathways I had never thought about before! Truly a great investment in my future.

Marijke

I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned about my values and how these are important in life and in work. I enjoyed identifying what I am good at and what I enjoy doing. I am now thinking about what I want from my future career.

Grace

The coaching sessions with Bronwyn have been 10 times more beneficial than I thought they would be.

They worked like clockwork, the sessions are the right length of time and I was able to understand the activities. I really liked my Character Strengths Report.

Harrison

I really enjoyed working with Bronwyn. She is very welcoming and easy to talk to and her coaching style is very easy to understand.

Overall I thought she really helped me to broaden my horizons, learn more about myself and what I would enjoy doing in the future.
