Design Your Career (At Any Stage). Career Planning Coaching is about the big picture: ensuring your career moves align with your long-term aspirations and values. This is beneficial for mid-career professionals considering a change, individuals feeling stuck or burnt out, or anyone who wants a strategic career roadmap. Key elements of this coaching:
We take a step back and look at the forest, not just the trees. What do you really want from your career and life? We’ll explore your values, passions, and strengths using reflective exercises. Perhaps you crave creativity, or a sense of impact, or work-life balance – does your current path offer those? We define what “fulfillment” looks like for you.
With a clear vision, we brainstorm possible paths. This could mean advancing in your current field, pivoting to a new industry, starting a business, or other creative alternatives (like a portfolio career or taking a sabbatical). We research and discuss the realities of those paths. If additional education or skills are needed, we’ll identify them. If you’re torn between choices, we can use decision-making frameworks to weigh them.
Once you have direction, we map out the steps. If your goal is to become, say, a Chief Marketing Officer, we outline the experiences and roles you might need to get there and how to acquire them. If you aim to transition from finance to non-profit, we create a strategy to rebrand your skills and possibly take transitional roles. Essentially, we develop a multi-year career roadmap with key milestones.
We identify any gaps to fill – be it technical skills, soft skills, or network connections – and make a plan to address them. This might involve suggesting courses, certifications, or simply projects at your current job to take on.
If this is a longer-term coaching engagement, each session we’ll set short-term goals (like, research X field, set up an informational interview, update your resume towards Y direction) and review progress. Life isn’t static – opportunities or challenges may arise, and we’ll adapt the plan as needed. You essentially have a career strategist in your corner as you navigate decisions.
Outcome: You’ll gain a sense of direction and purpose, replacing confusion with clarity. Instead of drifting or feeling trapped in your career, you’ll know what you’re working toward and how to get there. Many clients say this coaching reignited their motivation and optimism about the future, because they have a plan that excites them and aligns with who they are.
Pricing: Career planning can often be done in a shorter engagement (e.g., 3-4 sessions to get a plan in place), or longer if ongoing support is desired. We’ll tailor the length to your needs.
