"It is our light, not our darkness which most frightens us.
​
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
​
​Who are you not to be?"
Marianne Williamson


​Which of these apply to you at the moment?

Need help working out what you want to do with your career?
Doing lots of applications but not getting shortlisted for interview?
Getting interviews but no offers?
Feeling stuck or want help to get promoted or start your own business?

So what is career coaching?

 ​Good career coaching centres around a professional coaching relationship based on a collaborative, solution-focussed, results oriented and systematic process which helps you identify, clarify and achieve your goals.

​As part of this process, we will help you identify and develop latent talent and potential  and inspire you to grow and achieve your dreams. 

Career coaching principles

We work to and believe in the following best practice coaching principles:
  • ​All coaching is completely confidential
  • Listening is more important than talking
  • What motivates people must be understood
  • Everyone is capable of achieving more regardless of their profile and background
  • A person’s past is no indication of their future
  • People’s beliefs about what is possible for themselves are their only limits
  • The coach must always provide full support by being "present"
  • Coaches don’t provide all the answers  -  we ask important questions to help you discover for yourself
  • Coaching is always positive

What is a typical session like?

Usually around an hour long, a session begins with an outline of our confidentiality principles. To keep your costs down, we work by Skype/webinar, or phone with some follow-up work done by email.  We may use other technologies such as  messaging systems,  for instance if you have hearing problems.

Time is spent exploring your current context, identifying and agreeing what you want to work on as the focus for the session.  Once this is clear, the rest of the time is spent working on the agreed agenda together.

At the end of the session, we review the progress made and identify the next steps as the series of SMART objectives needed to anchor and develop your progress so you can measure your success.

Your coach will write up notes from the session which will be normally be emailed to you within 24 hours of the session.

How many sessions will I need?

​
​Sometimes, all it takes is just one Catalyst session.

​If your scenario is more complex, such as needing help with career direction, developing self confidence, or getting past barriers to growth, a series of three to six sessions, spread over the course of several weeks or months works best.
