How is coaching different to mentoring or careers advice?
As a career coach, it’s not my job to tell you what you should do. Coaching uses questioning and feedback to raise your own self-awareness, confidence and accountability.
While I will use various tools and share insight and learning from my professional experience, ultimately the career decisions you make come down to you.
How much do your career coaching programmes cost?
After an initial telephone consultation, I’ll put together a recommended career programme based on your specific requirements. I work on an hourly rate of $75 per hr, with concessions available.
When and where will coaching take place?
I am available to coach during normal business hours Monday to Friday. I have some availability for early morning and evening sessions Monday to Friday, and am available on occasion to coach at weekends.
I have coaching space available at no extra cost for sessions in East Auckland, and can also conducted a number of my sessions over Skype or using Zoom. Coaching sessions can take place in your office, if your employer is aware and comfortable with this arrangement. Finding a suitable space is never an issue.
What's expected from me as a client?
Coaching works best when there is mutual honesty and respect. I will regularly check in to get your feedback on our sessions, and how much progress you feel you are making. If you aren’t getting what you want from coaching, you can share this with me and we’ll work out a solution together.
Likewise if I feel there are any challenges or obstacles to your progress that we aren’t addressing, I will share this with you and ask if you want to explore these further. You will get out of coaching what you put in to it, so I encourage you to be open-minded about coaching and the big changes you can make.
Is this just for people who know they want a complete career change?
No. Career coaching is for people who want more their career – whatever this looks like. It could be a complete career change, a new role, or simply working out how you can get more from your current job.
We will invest time working out exactly what you would like to achieve from coaching. This may take a while to fully define, and will likely shift over time. Often our biggest career dreams are buried pretty deep after years of disconnecting from reaching our highest potential.
