Clients come to see career coaches for a wide range of reasons. One of the most common is that they just don't know what they want to do. Sometimes they can have quite good levels of self-awareness, so they know what strengths they've got, and they know what their values are. And maybe they even know what they want to get out of a job. But they can't quite translate that into a job title. So there's quite a lot of work that we do around getting people to identify specifically what it is they want. Sometimes we have clients who know exactly what they want. They just don't know how to get there. So maybe they know what the job is. They just don't know what it's called. Maybe they know what the job is, what it's called. They just don't know how to go about the process of trying to secure the opportunity that they're after. We also get clients who can't work out how to square their career demands and aspirations with the rest of their lives. So how can I be the person that I want to be at work alongside the person I want to be in the rest of my life? We also often see clients who for one reason or another don't quite feel ready for the next stage. But they know they need to do something. So this might be people who are facing redundancy at work or perhaps people who are coming to the end of school or university or a course. And they know that they need to do something, but somewhere inside they didn't feel quite ready to make the leap.
