7 reasons why everyone needs a Career Coach | MaXXYou

Work usually comes first in our discussions of work-life balance. Moreover since we spend a lot of time working. Therefore, to enjoy your work makes a lot of sense. Do you feel you are missing out in career perspective or challenges your current job or feel like you’ve been drifting along and it's making you unhappy? It's never too late to start exploring how your career and work ideally look like, and go after just that!

  1. Making the right choices
    It can seem like there’s an endless amount of information out there in the professional sphere. You may know what skills you need, but how do you find out which direction to take? That's where a career coach comes in to support you in your journey of exploration, and raising your self awareness around things that matter most in the context of your career.
  2. Be paid what you’re really worth
    It takes a lot of time, effort, and personal investment to make a career change, get a new job or promotion. You coach will empower you to have more focus and to develop further and faster - to find career fulfilment in whatever shape this might come. It will be to your benefit to have a professionally trained career coach by your side.
  3. Become more confident
    Who among us doesn’t struggle with confidence issues at work? A skilled career coach can help you identify your strengths and pinpoint your unique selling proposition. Armed with this awareness, you will feel empowered to present yourself with much more confidence in job interviews, in meetings with senior decision makers in your company, and in day-to-day relations with your peers.
  4. Building career skills for life
    The best thing about career coaching is that it is often life changing. You will gain insights and new perspectives, and an understanding why certain things work in your favor and others don't, so you can remove obstacles to your success forever.
  5. A life vision
    A life vision provides you focus and directs and fuels your energy to make your life vision a reality.
  6. How to best network
    Identifying the stakeholders that you would need to influence and networking is an essential part of a successful career. This can be challenging too though. Professional trained coaches and mentors can help you become comfortable with networking and learn the most strategic contacts to make and maintain.
  7. The next step up in your career
    Do you feel you are ready for a next step in your career, sideways or up, i.e., are you ready for a promotion? A career coach can help you explore the steps you need to take to get a hold of just that. And can help you prepare for any challenges that will come along - empowering you to focus and feel confident.
