Career Coaching
Pracademic Coaching offers career coaching to those seeking meaningful change in their professional lives. This may involve starting a new business, seeking a promotion, changing companies, or pivoting fields.
These types of changes can be meaningful inflection points in our clients’ careers, allowing them to leap forward and attain their goals – provided they make effective decisions in choosing the right opportunities.
Career coaching engagements are typically shorter in duration, as there is a clear outcome or end point. That said, the career coaching relationship may evolve to an executive coaching relationship once the client is successfully positioned in their new role.
The importance of objective decision-making
Pursuing new career opportunities can be an emotional experience. It’s human nature to feel excitement over well known companies, people we admire, compensation packages, job titles, etc. It’s important to feel and acknowledge these emotions – but they should not guide your decision-making.
Objective decision-making is essential when exploring any new career opportunity. Having clearly articulated goals and criteria for evaluating opportunities is essential to making good decisions that will result in a successful career change.
Your coach will work with you to assess the current state, identify future-state goals, and establish criteria for evaluating new opportunities. Using this framework, you can be confident that your career choices are based on logic, data, and a clear understanding of your goals. It reduces the likelihood of regrets, ensures that you're better prepared for potential challenges, and increases your chances of making a successful and fulfilling career move.
Thinking ahead to act now
At Pracademic Coaching, our career coaching engagements incorporate some aspects of performance coaching. We work with our clients to help them perform at their best during the process of pursuing new career opportunities.
Our method of thinking ahead to act now is Pracademic Coaching’s unique strength. We combine psychology and practical business expertise to help our clients envision the desired future state, and then use that vision to act with conviction in the present.
This applies to both immediate situations, like anticipating questions for a particular job interview, and major career decisions, like choosing whether to bootstrap or pursue venture capital to fund your business.
Envisioning your own peak performance is a potent source of motivation. Knowing where you’re headed gives you confidence in your decision-making and actions now, and the foresight to anticipate and overcome challenges along the way.
