When could career coaching help you?
Are you feeling stuck or in a career rut?
Have you recently been made redundant?
Are you looking to make a career change but
are not sure what or how to do this?
Are you looking for a new job and need help with your resume, interview technique, networking or other skills?
Are you wanting to transition into retirement or part-time work?
Do you want to set up a new business (either full time or part time)?
At different times in life we all need to change in job, organisation or even career direction. Sometimes we choose when to make that change and other times, like during Covid 19, the change is forced upon us. Others want assistance to transition into retirement and/or part time work.
I am able to apply my considerable human resources experience and empathetic coaching style to guide you in the process to help you make the right choices for your next move.
The Saor Career Coaching Process is tailored to your unique needs. I aim to help you uncover your (often hidden) drivers and motivators which help you find purpose in life, including work.
I am accredited in The Birkman Method of career assessment tools. Utilising this information, we can gain insights into your strengths, behaviours, development needs, motivational needs and underlying life and career interests.
I guide you in the process of developing life and career goals and the tactics to achieve these – immediately and/or over time. I also aim to build your personal job searching skills in order to increase your independence for future career moves.
