04 Career Coaching

Career Coaching

Our 1:1 Career Coaching is always uniquely tailored to each individual depending on specific needs. It is ideal for any individual at any level who wishes to receive specific, tailored, individual assistance from one of our team of seasoned, deeply experienced expert Career Coaches.

Our expert, supportive, non-judgemental Career Coaches can help you  with practical tools and advice to work out what the next step in your career might be – and then create a plan to get you moving in the right direction. They won’t tell you what to do, of course, but they will support and guide you to get the insights you need to get clarity on your career and next steps, and help you decide what sort of role you would be best suited to apply for.

Individual career coaching is also invaluable if you need help with improving a specific job application, be that improving your performance in interviews (including overcoming nerves!), tailoring your CV/résumé for a specific job, or writing an application, covering letter and/or Targeted Questions to apply for a specific role.

Your expert coach will assist you in getting better results with pretty much anything involved in the Job Application and Interview Skills process!

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Giving and Receiving Feedback

"As a result of this program, previously chronic under-performers are now performing satisfactorily, managers are happier, and we’re meeting KPIs above and beyond what we were - especially in areas like our performance management appraisal targets. I have managers – happily - doing things like HR plans, which I have been trying to get them to do for 3 years!"

Coaching Culture Leadership – Speaker Engagement – Chairman of CEO Institute Syndicates

I had Simon speak to my syndicates about the whole neuroscience perspective and how it relates to self-development, leadership skill sets and CEO performance. He was an excellent presenter receiving very high evaluations from all participants. His approach was practical and yet introduced members to neuroscience and its usefulness in understanding leadership development and I strongly recommend him to your chairs in the Sydney area. He also addressed the coaching role and the part it can play in personal development and team building. He also engaged with me fully prior to the sessions to make sure he came in at the right level to meet my members needs. I wholeheartedly recommend him to you and to your Chairmen.

Michael Powell, Chairman, CEO Institute Syndicates, Griffith University
