simple way to make better career decisions
|
Project Next Job reconstructs four one-on-one career coaching sessions, by asking you the same questions as professional coach during his meetings with the client.
Each session has its own goals (action steps) that you have to complete in order to move to the next session. Our audio and video recordings will guide you through the entire process, step by step, until you find the best career move.

"Life coaching can be broadly defined as a collaborative solution-focused, result-oriented and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of life experience and goal attainment in the personal or professional life of normal, nonclinical clients." [1] ANTHONY M. GRANT
It is important to distinguish coaching from other services like: mentoring, training, consulting, counseling, therapy, or athletic development (where the name "coaching" has its roots). If you are not sure what is the difference between coaching and these services, please read this article to learn what you should expect from a professional coach and how to spot a self-proclaimed "coach" (e.g. if person gives you advice or shares his or her knowledge he or she is NOT a professional coach).

Project Next Job is based on four one-on-one professional career coaching sessions, where the client's main goal is to find a job that will give them maximum satisfaction and fulfillment. During the meetings, the coach asks questions, makes notes, and encourages the client to dig deeper into the discussed topics.
To reconstruct this process we split it into many small interactions that can be defined by three simple steps:

In 2009, the ICF commissioned the Association Resource Centre Inc. and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to jointly conduct a global study of coaching clients. They asked over 2,000 participants about their coaching experience. The result of this study is presented in the Global Coaching Client Study [1] document. Here are some of their findings.
|
|
What motivates clients to seek coaching services?
|
What results do clients achieve from coaching?
|
Survey respondents were given a list of over 15 areas that are often addressed during coaching sessions and were asked to indicate how important each area was in their decision to seek out coaching services.
Some clients choose coaching instead of alternative services (e.g. therapy or counseling) because coaching provides them an ‘action plan’ (rather than an opportunity to explore their ‘issues’). |
Respondents were asked to assess changes in 15 areas as a result of coaching service. The lowest value '-3' indicated change to 'much worse' than before coaching, and value '+3' indicated change to 'much better' ('0' - 'no change').
Almost all (96%) clients indicated that they would repeat the coaching experience given the same circumstances that led them there in the first place. |
