Career Coaching
“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life” – Confucius
If you are at a stage in your life where you are thinking of starting a career, changing your career direction, or just unhappy in your current job and want a change. If you need help in choosing the right path then career coaching is for you. Career coaching will explore careers that suit you as a person based on personality, skills, values, and strengths. Together we can set realistic and achievable goals to get you where you want to be. Examples of goal setting may include resume improvement, Interview strategy, career searching, networking, and many more.
If you’re interested in furthering your career and want expert help, a career coach is a smart solution. A career coach is a professional you hire to guide you during a job search or a career transition or to help you improve and advance in your current position. A career coach analyzes your work situation and learns what your professional goals are. They then create a strategy to help you achieve your targets. Throughout the process, they should provide objective feedback and guide you in approaching the process strategically.
**Coaching sessions are held in person or online through Zoom **
Here are some of the tools and tasks a career coach may assist you with:
Helping you build a strong resume that reflects your work history, potential, and skills.
Coaching for interviews and strategies for solid answers built around your resume and the target job.
Defining your career goals.
Creating a plan for job searching.
Improving networking strategies and skills.
Developing strategies for negotiating raises or promotions.
Assessing why you’re not getting where you want to go.
Identify new positions or career opportunities that fit your skills.
Reviews
I was thinking of changing my career as I wasn’t happy in my current job. Elsie gave me the
confidence to believe in myself and got me to think about what I really wanted as a career as well as in my life. She helped me to set some new goals and I have now started in a new job which is going very well.
I went to Elsie for coaching as I was starting up a new business and wasn’t sure what direction to take. She put me at ease straight away and helped me to set realistic goals for my business and at the same time got me to focus on what was important to me as a person. My
business is now up and running and is going great. I would highly recommend her as a business coach.
A friend of mine had told me about coaching and that I should give it a go…I had never completed a coaching session before and didn’t really know what to expect. Due to Covid, my coaching sessions were all virtual which didn’t impact my coaching sessions. I was really overwhelmed with the experience of coaching and how it taught me to free myself from my own negative thoughts and personal limitations by giving me the tools and techniques to overcome these thoughts. Working with Elsie was the start of a mind-changing path in my life both personally and professionally. She taught me to believe in myself by giving me the tools and techniques to allow myself the time to actually tune in to My Life and tend to My needs, values, and beliefs. Elsie had the natural ability to really listen to me and by doing so, was able to guide, train and encourage me to face all daily challenges in my life with greater positivity. I would highly recommend Elsie as a Coach to help you in achieving either your personal or professional goals.
Elsie did some coaching with me after my leaving cert as I was very unsure and anxious about going to college. She got me to look at myself as a person and made me aware of what my values and strengths were. As a result, I got much more clarity and confidence in myself. We set goals for college and went through all the challenges that I might come up against. It took away all the fear and self-doubt that I had. I am now in college and enjoying every minute. I would recommend Elsie for coaching to anyone and will go back to her if I feel the need to in the future.
