What the hell is a career coach?!

Article Category: Career

Author Name: Rich Cole

I was at a {party|gathering} the other day and someone asked me 'what the hell a career coach was'? It's not {uncommon|unknown} for such (confusion|uncertainty}!

We at The Job Interview Tips Club like to {define|specify} {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} {broadly|generally} as follows:.

{Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} is {an efficient|an effective|a reliable}, high-impact {process|procedure} that helps high-performing {people|individuals} in career {roles|functions|jobs} {improve|enhance} interview {{results|outcomes|good results} in|lead to} {ways|methods|means} that are sustained.

It is {efficient|effective|reliable} {because|since|due to the fact that}, unlike {traditional|conventional|standard} consulting assignments, it does not {require|need} {invasive|intrusive} {processes|procedures}, {large|big|huge} outside {teams|groups}, and {lengthy|prolonged|time-consuming} reports and analyses {to get|to obtain} {results|outcomes|good results}.

It is a high-impact {process|procedure} {because|since|due to the fact that} {Career|Employment} Coaches {typically|generally|usually|normally} {work with|deal with} {clients|customers} {in {short|brief}|simply put|basically|put simply} {meetings|conferences} (i.e., 30 {minutes|mins} per session). {During|Throughout} this time, the coach and {client|customer} {can|could} {generate|produce|create} {important|essential|crucial|vital} {insights|understandings|ideas}, gain {clarity|quality|clearness}, focus, and {make {decisions|choices}|deciding|choose} to {improve|enhance} {performance|efficiency}.

{Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} {works with|deals with} high-performing {people|individuals} in leadership {roles|functions|duties|parts|jobs}. It is not {therapy|treatment}, {meant|implied|indicated|suggested} to "{fix|repair|take care of|deal with}" {a person|an individual}. As {an Career|an Employment} Coach, your {clients|customers} are {already|currently} {highly|extremely|very} {functioning|working|operating}, {successful|effective} {people|individuals}. Like any of us, they {need|require} support from time to time in order to {perform|carry out|do|Employmentute} {better|much better}.

{Finally|Lastly}, your {goal|objective} as {an Career|an Employment} Coach is to {improve|enhance} {{results|outcomes|good results} in|lead to} {ways|methods|means} that are sustainable {over time|in time|gradually}. Your {clients|customers} {want|desire} some {sort|kind|type} of {outcome|result}, {usually|typically|normally|generally} {related to|associated with|connected to} {improved|enhanced} {profits|revenues}, {career|occupation|profession|job} success, {organizational|business} {effectiveness|efficiency}, or {career|occupation|profession|job} and {personal|individual} {satisfaction|fulfillment|contentment}. {If you aren't helping your {clients|customers} get {results|outcomes|good results}, you aren't doing your {job|task}.|You aren't doing your {job|task} if you aren't helping your {clients|customers} get {results|outcomes|good results}.} At the {same|exact same} time, {coaching|training} {is about|has to do with} helping {people|individuals} {improve|enhance} their {own|very own} {capabilities|abilities|capacities} and {effectiveness|efficiency}, so that the {results|outcomes|good results} and {performance|efficiency} {improvements|enhancements|renovations} last. To {use|utilize|make use of} the.
{time-worn and {famous|well-known|popular}|{famous|well-known|popular} and time-worn} quote, you are {teaching|instructing} {people|individuals} to fish, not feeding them for a day.

The formal {definition|meaning} of a coach is {very|extremely|really} {interesting|fascinating|intriguing}, as it {refers to|describes} the coach of a sports {team|group}. {Many|Numerous|Lots of} {coaching|training} programs {don't|do not} {like|such as} the {idea|concept} of {Career|Employment} Coaches {being like|resembling} sports coaches. They {prefer|choose|like} to have coaches asking {{lots|great deals|whole lots} of|great deals of} {great|fantastic|terrific|excellent|wonderful} {questions|concerns} so that the {client|customer} {suddenly|all of a sudden} has an "ah-ha" {moment|minute} and figures things out on {his or her|his/her} {own|very own}. While this is one {perfectly|completely} {acceptable|appropriate} {form|type|kind} of {coaching|training}, it is {not enough|insufficient|inadequate|not nearly enough}.

{Sometimes|In some cases|Often|Occasionally} you {{need|require} to|have to|should} {intervene|step in}, the {way|method|means} that a sports coach does. You {{need|require} to|have to|should} make observations, {provide|offer} {tools|devices}, {move|relocate} the {conversation|discussion|chat} forward, {motivate|inspire|encourage}, and {sometimes|in some cases|often|occasionally} {give|provide|offer} {a firm|a company|an office} {kick in|pitch in} the {pants|trousers}.

You {can|could} {incorporate|integrate|include} the practices of {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} into {almost|practically|virtually|nearly} any {profession|occupation|career} that {works with|deals with} {entrepreneurs|business owners}, {Careers|Employments}, {managers|supervisors}, and up-and-coming leaders in {an organization|a company}.

{For {instance|circumstances}|For example}, if you are a management {consultant|specialist}, you likely {already|currently} {provide|offer} {coaching|training} as part of {what|exactly what} you do. {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} is the part of the engagement where you work {one-on-one|individualized} with {Careers|Employments} to {encourage|motivate|urge} them to make {difficult|challenging|tough|hard} {decisions|choices}, {step out of|get out of} their {comfort|convenience} {zone|area}, {stop|quit} {destructive|harmful|damaging|devastating|detrimental} {behavior|habits}, {embrace|accept|welcome} {change|modification}, and {shift|move} {performance|efficiency}.

For me, a long-time {consultant|specialist}, {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} is the {fun|enjoyable} part. It's when you {stop|quit} doing the analyses (and {most|many} of the time the {client|customer} {already|currently} {knows|understands|famouses} the {answer|response} {anyway|anyhow}), {stop|quit} {revising|modifying|changing} the PowerPoint {presentation|discussion}, and {sit down|rest} face to face with the {client|customer} to help them {improve|enhance} {results|outcomes|good results}. It's the part of the engagement where the {client|customer} {turns to|relies on|counts on|resorts to} you as their {objective|goal}, {trusted|reputabled|credibled} {advisor|consultant}, as {a colleague|an associate|a coworker} and confidant.

If you are {already|currently} a "life coach," {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} {can|could} help you put some {more|even more} "meat on the bones" of your {coaching|training} {content|material}. {Too {many|numerous|lots of}|A lot of} life coaches {lack|do not have} concrete, results-driven {content|material} that resonates with {Careers|Employments}.

{Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} {combines|incorporates|integrates} {three|3} {components|elements|parts} that {can|could} help you take your life {coaching|training} practice to the next level: {{process|procedure}, {content|material}, and context|{process|procedure}, context, and {content|material}|{content|material}, {process|procedure}, and context|{content|material}, context, and {process|procedure}|context, {process|procedure}, and {content|material}|context, {content|material}, and {process|procedure}}.

{Process|Procedure} is the {way|method|means} you coach {Careers|Employments}, and {how|exactly how} you structure engagements.

{Content|Material} {refers to|describes} your {knowledge|understanding|expertise} and {ability|capability|capacity} to contribute {insights|understandings|ideas} with {relevance|significance} and {impact|effect}: {{how|exactly how} to|ways to|the best ways to} {communicate|interact|connect} {effectively|efficiently|successfully}, strategic thinking, {marketing|advertising} {insights|understandings|ideas}, {operational|functional} {improvement|enhancement|renovation}, {organizational|business} {development|advancement}, leadership {skills|abilities}, and {financial|monetary} management.

Context {is about|has to do with} who you are, and who you help your {client|customer} to be-- {namely|specifically|particularly} {{how|exactly how} to|ways to|the best ways to} help them be more {effective|efficient} as a leader in their {organization|company} and as {a person|an individual}.

{Career|Employment} Coaches get {{involved|included} in|associateded with} all {three|3} domains.

For {people|individuals} who {offer|provide} training programs, {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} {provides|offers} {a new|a brand-new} platform for you to {adapt|adjust} your {materials|products}. {Instead|Rather} of leading {group|team} programs, you {can|could} {use|utilize} your training {materials|products} to coach {Careers|Employments} {one-on-one|individualized}. (And the reverse {applies|uses}: {Career|Employment} Coaches {often|frequently|typically|commonly} {offer|provide} training programs).

It is {also|likewise|additionally} {important|essential|crucial|vital} to be clear about {what|exactly what} {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} is NOT.

{Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} is not {therapy|treatment}. You are not {fixing|repairing|taking care of|dealing with} {anybody|anyone}. {However|Nevertheless|Nonetheless}, you {can|could} ask {powerful|effective} {questions|concerns} that {{inquire|ask|find out} about|ask about} why {a client|a customer} {behaves|acts} the {way|method|means} they do. {What|Exactly what} are their beliefs and {values|worths|resale values} that might be {causing|triggering} them to {behave|act} the {way|method|means} they do? {How|Exactly how} can they {embrace|accept|welcome} more empowering {beliefs and {values|worths|resale values}|{values|worths|resale values} and beliefs} {to get|to obtain} the {results|outcomes|good results} they {{want|desire} to|wish to} get?

{Likewise|Also|Similarly|Furthermore}, {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} is not the {same|exact same} thing as interim management. You are not stepping in to do the {job|task} for your {client|customer}. {Instead|Rather}, you are a "shadow leader" working behind the scenes to help your {client|customer} {{succeed|be successful|prosper} and {improve|enhance}|{improve|enhance} and {succeed|be successful|prosper}} in {lasting|enduring} {ways|methods|means}.

Third, your {job|task} as {an Career|an Employment} Coach is not a "crystal ball" who magically {provides|offers} {an answer|a response}. As a coach, you will {{intervene|step in} and {provide|offer}|{provide|offer} and {intervene|step in}} {advice|guidance|insight|recommendations|suggestions|assistance} when {appropriate|suitable|proper|ideal}. {But|However} {successful|effective} coaches {engage in|participate in|take part in} {dialogue|discussion} with their {clients|customers}, {and then|then} {customize|personalize|tailor} {a tool|a device} or {solution|option} that works for their {unique|special|distinct|one-of-a-kind} {situation|circumstance|scenario}. {Sometimes|In some cases|Often|Occasionally} there is no {easy|simple} {answer|response}, and your {value|worth|resale value} will be to support your {clients|customers} in {making {decisions|choices}|deciding|choosing} with {incomplete|insufficient} {information|info|details}.

With these {definitions|meanings} in mind, {Career|Employment} {Coaching|Training} {can|could} be {a {enormously|tremendously} {rewarding|gratifying|satisfying|fulfilling} and {lucrative|profitable|rewarding} |a {lucrative|profitable|rewarding} and {enormously|tremendously} {rewarding|gratifying|satisfying|fulfilling}} {profession|occupation|career} for the {seasoned|experienced|skilled|competent} {practitioner|specialist|professional}.
