What can you expect from Coaching?
Although coaching for personal development has been around for many years, it has recently enjoyed a significant growth in popularity and now it seems that everywhere you look there are life coaches, relationship coaches, business coaches, parenting coaches, spiritual coaches…indeed coaching has come to mean a lot more than working with a sports team!
At careerbalance, our coaches have internationally recognised coaching qualifications, extensive experience in their field of coaching and are members of professional bodies so you can be assured of the quality of your experience.
Your coaching programme will begin with a phone call to explore the challenges that you face, so you get a feel for the coach that will be working with you - and so we can recommend the most appropriate approach that meets your needs. Before your first session, we'll send you some information and some questions that will help you decide the main goals for your coaching experience, and will give your coach even more ideas about the best way to work with you.
At your first meeting, your coach will spend up to an hour asking you questions and listening carefully to your story...they will help you to think differently about the career challenges you've identified, and will support you in creating a plan to achieve your goals. Follow up support is typically face to face and can vary from a couple more meetings to a couple of years of regular meetings, whatever feels right for you - this is your journey, you are in the driving seat and we are there to support you.
We can’t promise that coaching will be an easy process, and you will almost certainly encounter challenges and obstacles along the way – but we can promise to be right beside you and we guarantee that you’ll get great results. In fact, we offer a 100% money back guarantee on our coaching programmes.
Don't just take our word for it though - here is some feedback from recent clients;
