It’s increasingly common for people to switch jobs multiple times throughout their careers, often due to a mismatch between an individuals personal interests and values and the values of the field, organisation or department. This disconnect can lead to feelings of frustration, bitterness, and even depression.
While general career advice may have been sought in the past, career coaching takes a more personalised approach. It involves exploring your strengths and passions in relation to your current role, while also exploring your core values and purpose. By realigning your career with what matters most to you, you can begin explore your options and begin shifting towards a more fulfillment working life, which can bring about opportunities for greater achievement as well as greater workplace wellbeing.
At some point in our working lives many of us feel we’re in the wrong job but we’re not sure where to turn. The fear of losing the familiarity and security of what we’re doing now outweighs the uncertainty around what we might gain from finding a more meaningful career.
Career Coaching encourages you to develop greater self-awareness, to think about your values, strengths, skills and pleasures so that you can identify what work, roles and organisations best aligns with who you are and what you enjoy. It also offers the opportunity to think about how you want to contribute to the workforce and wider society.
