Career Transition Coaching Programme
This programme is for you if you want to transition to a new career. The programme is delivered over nine one-to-one coaching sessions.
Perhaps you're feeling unfulfilled in your career and wondering if there's something else out there to re-ignite your professional passion. Maybe you've achieved all you want from your current career and want to challenge yourself by doing something different.
Book an intro call to discuss what you'd like to achieve from the Career Transition Coaching Programme
What's included in the programme
Our coaching programmes are tailored to your needs. We don't believe in a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to development. That's why the intro call is so important: it's used to understand what you want to achieve as an individual. The sessions are designed to allow you the space to explore your motivations, how you apply your skills and strengths, and trying out new things, in service of achieving your goals.
This is an example of what the nine-session programme could look like, with each session lasting one hour, with pre- and post-activities to maximise the application of your learning.
