Authentic career planning, career coaching

Everyone deserves to feel fulfilled in their job. In fact, job satisfaction is good for you, good for your workplace, and good for the world: it is when we are in the right place, that we contribute the most by sharing our truest talents and gifts. Staying satisfied, healthy, and happy in your job in the long term requires being able to be authentic at work –  connected to your true self and having no major internal conflict between how you see yourself and the work you do. I consider authenticity not as a character trait, but as a continuous process; as you keep progressing in life, you also keep changing, and authenticity requires you to keep checking in regularly with yourself and asking yourself questions such as "Who am I today? Who is the person I have become? What are my most valuable strengths, resources? What values do I consider the most important? What role does my work play in my life? Is my work in line with my current understanding of my true self? Am I still satisfied, happy, proud to be doing this work?"   

This coaching journey invites you to take a deep journey to understand yourself, your career desires, your strengths, your values, motivations and needs more fully – and through learning to accept and value all these, to create a career path for yourself that feels genuinely right. This is an important exercise if you are just starting your career and looking for orientation as well as if you are a seasoned professional, looking for a new direction – or simply looking for a career plan within the context of your current workplace. You will re-look at your current competencies and resources from a fresh perspective and emerge with a fuller appreciation of yourself, and, as a consequence, further grow your self-confidence and self-belief, which in turn will aid you when you're taking your next career steps. In short: by building on your strengths, you will create the foundations for sustainable, authentic career development.
