Lessons from Coaching Conversations

I wanted to share my learnings from over 150+ 1:1 and group career coaching conversations.

Here you go:

Powerful Questions Over Prescriptive Solutions:

Rather than just offering suggestions, the power of asking the right questions is profound.

Career vs. Loans:

Many individuals prioritize loans over career decisions, often influenced by external pressures.

Loneliness in Career Decisions:

Many feel lonely and need someone to motivate them, but they are unaware that Career coach can help

Emotional Attachment to Companies:

Emotional ties to companies hinder objective decision-making. Helping individuals detach emotionally while making strategic career moves is an ongoing challenge.

Balancing Personal and Professional Life:

Striking a balance between personal and professional life is a struggle for many.

Certification Overload:

There's a tendency to pursue certifications indiscriminately. Directing individuals towards certifications that truly add value is crucial to avoid unnecessary expenses.

Early Career Confusion:

- Confusion starts early in the college years. Distinguishing between coaching and mentoring, understanding the role of a career coach—these basics are often unclear.

Pricing Dilemma:

Career coaching fees sometimes become a barrier. Striking a balance between affordability and the value offered is an ongoing consideration.

Certifications ≠ Job Guarantee:

Clarifying the misconception that certifications alone secure jobs is essential. Emphasizing the holistic approach involving skills, networking, and positioning on platforms like LinkedIn is crucial.
