Career & Purpose

Are you dealing with any of these issues?

You might feel disengaged or stuck in your career and want to fully explore your options or change direction. I can help you move forward, position yourself so you are ready for future opportunities; ensure your working life aligns with your personal priorities. My coaching method can help you direct your career, rather than having it “just happen” to you.

general tools in career coaching

cognitive behavioral coaching

Our life history shapes our brain.

Neuronal connections form based on what we do repeatedly in life, both good and bad.

Good news: our brain is plastic until we die so we can unlearn things that keep us stuck and learn new things that help us grow.

By using well established techniques (e.g. the ABCDE model) within the Cognitive behavioral coaching (CBC) framework, I help my clients replace unhelpful and self-limiting beliefs with realistic thoughts.

CBC is not a quick fix: behavioral change comes only with conscious, directional effort.

emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence may help with finding purpose in your current career, or move on to the next step with renewed awareness.

Why some people are more effective than others, irrespective of their IQ?

The answer is in their ability to understand and manage their’s and others’ emotions, also known as Emotional Intelligence (EI).

In coaching, we navigate the four components of EI:

1. Self-awareness

2. Self-management

3. Social awareness

4. Relationship management

assessments

Based on your needs, we begin our coaching journey with some tests assessing your personality, strengths, self-percepetions.

All assessments have high validity and reliability and are available online as a resource of research articles. They are only our starting point to move forward and make evaluations along the way.

reflection exercises

Personalized homework assignements support the elaboration of what you have learned about yourself during the coaching session.

Following your agenda, we design an action plan with practical exercises that slowly and consistently guide you from knowing to doing.
