Frequently Asked Questions about Career Coaching​

What is Career Coaching?

At its heart, career coaching primarily centers on guiding individuals, often in leadership roles. These individuals are not only tasked with steering their teams or organizations but also bear the weight of decisions and actions that shape their trajectory. Hence, career coaching is synonymous with leadership coaching. 

Often referred to as high-performance or peak-performance coaching, the crux of career coaching is unveiling one’s true self. It delves deep, unearthing underlying emotions, entrenched beliefs, and mental fixations that often hinder one from tapping into their fullest potential. Beyond the professional realm, this coaching approach also bolsters personal growth and development.

Kilburg succinctly captures the essence of this coaching journey: “A collaborative effort between a client in a significant managerial role and a consultant, employing a spectrum of behavioral techniques to help the client achieve a set of mutually agreed-upon goals…” (Kilburg, 2007, p. 28)

Career coaching crafts a personalized roadmap, challenging and aiding leaders to sift through misconceptions, hone their capabilities, and ascend in their roles. This holistic growth often culminates in realizing their vision and bolstering resilience against escalating stress and challenges. While these objectives often align with the organization’s goals, they can also encompass personal transitions, such as a change in job roles or even exiting a company.

The layers of career coaching are multifaceted, encompassing everything from addressing performance hiccups, navigating intricate relationship dynamics, and managing heightened stress, to introspective journeys unveiling concealed facets and unrecognized blind spots.

Can career coaching help me if I don’t know what I want yet?

Absolutely. A primary focus is on helping you gain clarity and uncover your true aspirations.

Who should consider a Career Coach?

Reaching the pinnacle often means fewer shoulders to lean on, with everyone seeking your guidance. If you aim to stay on an upward trajectory of growth, consider career coaching. To break free from entrenched habits and drive genuine transformative change, a coach can be instrumental.

For those in leadership roles, career coaches offer the support and insights you might have been missing. It’s crucial to recognize that not only leaders but also managers should be receptive to coaching.

Most organizations recognize the value of coaching in their teams, understanding that those in leadership greatly benefit from such an investment. Gauging the impact of career coaching through ROI only further emphasizes its importance

What is the difference between executive coaching and career coaching?

For us, career coaching is synonymous with leadership coaching. It focuses on guiding individuals in significant managerial or professional roles to achieve their full potential, often encompassing personal growth alongside professional development.

Why does Career Coaching work?

Having a career coach provides you with an unbiased sounding board, a motivator, and someone to keep you accountable. Coaching encourages you to unearth solutions from within. This is facilitated by your coach posing insightful questions, aiding you in shifting your viewpoint and uncovering fresh opportunities.

Coaching is pivotal for senior leaders, managers, and business proprietors as it instills a deeper sense of purpose and satisfaction, essential motivators in our journey. Many leaders have areas they’re unaware of; career coaches illuminate these areas, ensuring you, your team, and even your family prosper. A sustained coaching relationship is key to ensuring this continuous growth.

How do I know I need a Career Coach?

How should I prepare for my first coaching session?

Embarking on a journey with a career coach is a transformative step towards unearthing your true potential. However, achieving true introspection and growth requires vulnerability and trust, which may not always come easily.

It’s natural to guard oneself, to wear masks that hide vulnerabilities cultivated over years. These protective layers, often formed in early life, might have been essential shields at one point, but as professionals, they can become barriers to our fullest potential.

To ensure a fruitful first session with your career coach, consider the following:

  1. Embrace Vulnerability: Understand that it’s okay to reveal your perceived weaknesses. Doing so can be a strength, as it sets the stage for genuine growth and understanding.

  2. Document Your Goals: Before your session, jot down areas you’d like to address, transform, or enhance. Recognizing these challenges is the first step toward navigating them.

  3. Maintain an Open Mind: While it’s natural to have reservations, approach the session with an openness to new insights and feedback.

  4. Commit to the Journey: True transformation demands dedication. Be ready to invest time and energy into the process for optimal outcomes.

  5. Share Authentically: Be candid about your aspirations, concerns, and challenges. Your career coach is there to guide, not judge. Authenticity paves the way for more impactful coaching.

Do you help with CVs and interviews?

Yes, while our core is inner transformation, we provide practical support for personal branding, CV refinement, and interview preparation as part of your holistic journey. 

What should I expect from Executive Coaching?

Embarking on the journey of Integrative Executive Coaching, you commence with a 40-minute Discovery Consultation. This preliminary engagement is dedicated to charting out our collaborative path and pinpointing your focal areas.

As our coaching sessions evolve, we’ll unveil the barriers keeping you from realizing your envisioned life. Along the way, you’ll be nurtured to:

  1. Heighten Your Self-Awareness: Delve deep into introspection and recognize your inner strengths and areas of improvement.

  2. Spot Growth Avenues: Discover opportunities to elevate your potential and broaden your horizons.

  3. Nurture Harmonious Relations: Foster healthier, more productive interactions with peers and subordinates.

  4. Hone Conflict Resolution Skills: Address disagreements with poise and effectiveness.

  5. Boost Emotional Acumen: Elevate your emotional intelligence, mastering the art of emotion regulation and response.

  6. Shatter Limiting Beliefs: Break free from self-imposed constraints and bolster your self-assurance.

  7. Heal from Past Traumas: Recognize and address deep-seated emotional scars that hinder your progress.

  8. Amplify Creativity and Intuition: Nurture your innate gifts, bringing innovative insights to the forefront.

Your executive coach, bound by confidentiality, will serve as a trusted confidante. You’ll be gently navigated through the multifaceted landscape of your psyche, drawing support and motivation at each turn.

Our coaching approach encompasses probing inquiries, designed not only to clarify but also to challenge ingrained perceptions. Facing these introspective challenges may, at times, be uneasy. It’s crucial, however, to remember that reshaping long-held views – especially those no longer serving you – can be a transformative yet unsettling experience. Authenticity in these dialogues is paramount. Withholding essential insights, driven by guilt or embarrassment, can impact the efficacy of our sessions.

Typically, an executive coaching engagement spans 6 to 12 months. Yet, recognizing the fruits of this transformative process, many choose to renew, steadfast in their commitment to sustained personal growth.

Is coaching done online or in person?

We do both online and in-person coaching in South Africa. Our virtual sessions deliver the same personalised guidance and transformative support as traditional face-to-face meetings.

The Experiential Coaching Journey

Career coaching mirrors the “hero’s journey” as depicted by Joseph Campbell: a deep dive into one’s consciousness to unlock a refined state of being, pivotal for both personal and professional growth.

Delving into these depths brings chaos, shaking our foundational beliefs. But facing this chaos is essential for genuine transformation and uncovering hidden pathways. Our perceptions of reality, shaped by language and reason, often trap us in rigid thought patterns, making us blind to opportunities. By confronting these barriers, we discover our authentic selves, the wellspring of creativity and innovation.

While quick solutions might appeal, only profound journeys promise lasting change. It’s like alchemical magic: turning lead into gold. With a career coach as a guide, one embarks on this transformative expedition.

Is this just for people changing jobs?

Not at all. We work with all professionals who want to develop their careers , overcome feelings of being stuck or unfulfilled, improve their leadership skills or manage stress to optimise their potential.
