The Future of Career Coaching

You may be a coach already or a person involved in career management or support for others: a recruitment and HR specialist, a people and talent developer, a career guidance advisor or consultant. Perhaps you are considering learning, upskilling and expanding the services you offer to your existing clients or may want to create a new client base. Maybe you are a facilitator and trainer of career syllabus content. Whatever your current professional situation, it makes sense to enhance your skills and prospects within your professional capacity.

We understand that.

What we see and observe working with clients, students, and by continuously reading, listening, watching and engaging in real life, is change, in the needs of clients of career management or career support professionals. If this is you, then without a doubt the change in clients’ needs is also visible to you.

The Career Coaching Clients of Today and Tomorrow

Some people remain in limbo, feeling discomfort but not knowing what to do. Many however begin to realise that you can and in fact should expect more from your career; it is your responsibility to design it for yourself and take real action to get satisfying results. With this awareness an employee of tomorrow is out there looking for help in creating their dream career.

Millennials seem to be leading this path and are having a huge social and economic impact on the workplace. They want more and they are not afraid to ask for it. They want to be seen in a holistic way, they want opportunities to express themselves, to show creativity, to grow and to present to the entire world (if possible) what they have to offer. They dream big and their timing couldn’t be better.

They set examples. More and more people want to find work they will love, not just accept and tolerate as a part of life. They want work that aligns with who they are. Career for many has become  a way and an opportunity for self-expression. A path, a working journey, that is a part of who they are, an element of their identity. Aware of their value – they want to give but also get. They simply want to figure it out. It’s no longer about what you’re “supposed to be doing” but about the meaning and purpose of what you do as a professional and how it serves others.

Your clients have a strong need for career planning. They don’t need guidance, as such, but a thought partner who will support them in coming up with ideas for themselves to create an authentic, true life they are capable of living, professionally and personally. If not here, maybe somewhere else. Their path in fact becomes a serious quest for fulfilment and satisfaction.

They have a greater awareness of their potential and some of their most important strengths, abilities and skills. They are willing to embark on a new journey, something more adventurous and meaningful. The career coaching client of tomorrow must be braver than previous generations had to be. They have to be ready to play a much bigger game out there.

Today, more people than ever are looking for support in creating a real career path. They are ready to learn. They want to identify exactly what it is they need to do at this stage of their life, that will enable them to grow and which will become a stepping stone to the next exciting adventure.

The idea of one job for life is far in the past. The Career Coaching Client of tomorrow is ready for change and ready to show courage. As long as the steps they take are leading where they wants to go.  The Career Coach is the person who can help and assist in creating this path and the actions that will bring the client there. Their biggest need is to get more clarity on the most authentic career path for them right now.

Is business booming, are there opportunities for qualified Career Coaches out there Today and Tomorrow? Absolutely!

The Future of Career Coaching

There are so many new jobs out there, that many clients still don’t know about or even realise these new professions exist. Millennials seem to have this awareness more than the Generation X workforce.

In this new, ever changing environment, you as a Career Professional are and will be expected to know and understand the reality of today. Your role is to help the individual seeking coaching respond to the demand of tomorrow. Are your thinking and skills current enough to enable that?

There are new ways of looking at job hunting and different actions to be taken by an individual who wants to create a fulfilling career – from new concepts and strategies around career management in a digital world to forming purposeful and meaningful professional alliances, to connect and network in order to pursue a dream job.

As a Career Professional are you ready to support your clients in all aspects of today’s job market and the creativity and strategic thinking that it requires?

After years of “keeping head above water” clients want more. Are you prepared to help them see themselves as knowledgeable and skillful individuals able to benefit from employment on much more than just a financial level?

Your clients are no longer simply accepting a job that is not aligned with who they are. They need more and they want more. They expect to find answers and in order to do it, they look for a career coach.

This is what clients are looking for right now? Are you ready to respond?
