I’m trying to decide if I need a career coach. How will working with a coach work to my advantage?
If you were trying to get into shape would you consider hiring a personal trainer to get you going? If the answer’s yes, then why wouldn’t you place as much value on your professional career – the source of your livelihood? Working with an experienced career coach can help ensure that you’re working in a role that’s helping you FLOURISH – leveraging your strengths everyday and doing what you do best. Or, if you’re in transition and trying to decide what your ‘next best step’ is, then a career coach can help you get there more quickly.
How do I decide if the coach is the “right one” for me?
When selecting a career coach it is important that you establish a good rapport because you’re going to be working closely with that person. It’s important you like and trust them. However, just as you wouldn’t select a surgeon based solely on his/her bedside manner, it’s important that you know your coach’s track record and whether or not they can help you achieve your goals. It’s one of the reasons we offer a completely complimentary (30 minute) coaching call. You won’t be called by a salesperson with a high pressure sales pitch; you’ll be talking with a highly experienced coach who will help assess where you are and how we might be able to help. And, most importantly, you’re guaranteed to walk away from the conversation with some valuable insight and (free) coaching advice.
How many sessions will I need to help get me going in the right direction?
There isn’t a “one size fits all” service package that will answer that question, which is why we offer such a broad variety of options. Our goal is to “meet you were you are to help get you where you want to go” as quickly as possible. We’re very conscious of the fact that you’re buying the services and will ensure that we’re helping you maximize your ROI (Return on Investment) in your own professional career development. During the completely complimentary (30 minute) coaching call, your coach will be able to help determine the most appropriate service options – without a high pressure sales pitch.
Do you guarantee your services?
We guarantee that you will receive the services you purchased, and they will be high quality and proven to work. A personal trainer can’t guarantee you’ll have a sculpted body if you don’t follow their advice and “do the work.” The same principle applies with career coaching. It’s one of the reasons it’s so critical that you choose an experienced coach. We (the coaches at Blended Learning Team, LLC) have worked with thousands of individuals over more than 35 years to develop and hone sound strategies and best practices. If you “do the work” the results will follow.
