How a Career Coach can Help You
If you're feeling overwhelmed or confused by your career path, a career coach can help put things in perspective and point out the next steps to take. Here's what you should know about finding and working with a career coach.
What is a career coach?
A career coach is a professional who can help you figure out how to advance in your career, or even if it's time for a career change. They will help you set long and short-term goals, and work on strategies for getting there. Yvonne Looije founder of MaXXYou most certainly helps you with one or more of the following:
Dreaming, exploring and developing your career
Career coaching will help you explore and evaluate where you are, what you want to achieve, and how to get there. Career coaches often work with validated instruments to reveal your skills, qualities, and characteristics, as well as help to identify roles and industries in which you may excel.
Goal setting
If you have a career goal, a career coach enables and supports you in setting up an actionable plan to reach that goal. Together you create meaningful goals that are SMART so that you can actually know where you are going. This is why goals are best set by making them Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound.
Why a career coach?
