Considering a Career Change? Find Out How a Life Coach Can Help
Let’s face it, we spend a lot of time at our jobs. We can feel stuck, frustrated, exhausted, and confused. We want our job experiences to be the best they can be, but how and when do we make that happen? A coach can help you answer those difficult questions.
We make career decisions at all ages and phases of life, such as:
Career Coaching for Recent Graduates
Whether you’re soon to complete high school or college, or if you’ve been out of school for a few years now, the thought of choosing a career can be extremely overwhelming.
If you are having a hard time deciding because there are no options or too many, you aren’t alone. And it doesn’t help when well-meaning family and friends are asking you, so what’s next for you?
You legitimately have no idea. You may know what you do best and what you're interested in, but the future still looks blurry and frankly, a little scary.
A life coach will listen to the struggle of where you are now and ask important questions that help to spur your thinking. A coach will listen to what matters most to you, discuss overcoming obstacles, and guide you towards the next steps in moving forward with a career choice.
Regretting Your Recently Accepted Position
It's exciting to find out that you are hired and that an employer wants YOU for the job. But that enthusiasm quickly wears off as you find the job is much different than you were expecting.
You may feel confused as to how this happened. You may be unsure of what to do next. Should you stick it out and give it more time or move on to find another position? And if so, what position? What can you learn so that this doesn’t happen again?
A coach can help you navigate this disconcerting situation.
Coaching for When You’ve Been in a Job for a Long Time
Depending on your age and personality, a “long time” can be defined differently. But the exact amount of months or years is not the issue. The issue is you are either bored or burned out and you need a change.
But how? You may have been dreaming about something specific or you may have no idea where you are going. You just know you cannot stay where you are.
A coach can help guide you through the process of confidently stepping into a new job or career. A career coach can help you discover your calling, strengths, and values so that your job actually contributes to a more fulfilling life!
Re-entering the Workforce
There could be many reasons why you have been out of the workforce, but a common one for women is taking a break from their careers to raise their children.
Some women dread the thought of getting back into the workforce, and some can’t wait to have regular adult conversations again. Either way, it can be difficult to know where to start and what has changed since you were last out there on the job scene.
Working with a career coach can help you build confidence in who you are and what you can bring to a new job. A coach will listen to what your needs are for your whole life so that you can find a job or career that makes the most sense for you and your family.
Retiring & Looking for a Purpose
You’ve put in your years of hard work and now your time is your own. Change is not easy, and retirement is no exception. This can be a lonely and confusing time for some women because they feel that their life lacks the discipline and purpose that they used to have.
A coach can help you discover ways that you feel fulfilled and enriched, without losing the things you value about retirement.
Get The Help You Need
Meeting with a coach during the many transitions of life can help you make the best career choices. Meeting with a Christian coach can allow specific faith-related questions that can uncover a specific calling or direction.
