Take the opportunity to redefine your career and life
Many years ago people tended to commence a job in an industry with many expecting to retire from that job after 40 or more years. Today people can expect to have multiple careers throughout their lifetime due to economic changes and the creation of new jobs. We are faced with multitude of choices that were not faced before.

Work is not only a source of income, it’s an important source of meaning driving our wellbeing. I’m sure everyone knows of someone, even themselves, who have experienced a job that is full of drudgery. Nobody wants to live their life that way, yet many are stuck in the “wrong” career or workplace which impacts them and those around them negatively each and every day.

Making the “right” choice can be challenging. The purpose of career coaching is to support you identify you career goals that will lead to you feeling satisfied each day and develop a pathway to achieve those goals. People at all stages of life find career coaching to be essential support to making important decisions about the future direction of their working life which impacts their entire life.

Career coaching is about you identifying clear career and life options and charting a pathway to your goals. Without such outcomes, career coaching is not successful.
Your Career Coaching program
Career coaching can be undertaken at multiple levels depending on your needs. Our core program is structured around six structured coaching sessions supported by Harrison Career Assessment instruments to support the development and exploration of options. You will have access to the Harrison Career Navigator to explore the fit of options.
The process begins with an initial interview, to review your career expectations, choices and career experiences to date, and completion of Harrison Career Assessment instruments. This builds a profile of your strengths, needs, values, competencies, personality and drivers, and what gives you satisfaction and meaning at work.
With a sound understanding of your preferences, you work with the coach through a structured six session program using design thinking that supports the identification of a meaningful work-life direction that fits with interests, strengths and personality. With the support of the coach, you analyse opportunities, both immediate and longer-term, and develop practical pathways to your goals.
The program concludes with the development of strategies that build your profile, identifies useful networks in both in and outside your organisation, and creates the framework for ongoing career crafting.

How Do We "Do" Career Coaching?
Set to Change offers coaching face to face, by telephone and digital platforms. Digital coaching uses Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet and Skype. In all cases, meetings are locked once you and the coach are present to prevent uninvited entrants. All platforms offer the ability to share documents and sketches in real-time.
Digital coaching offers clients the opportunity to be coached from when they feel comfortable, be it their office, home or even outdoors. You and your coach may agree to “walking coaching” where the you are outside in a park sharing images of what surrounds us surrounds and discussing the impact of surrounds and the metaphors created.
Set to Change has found coaching using digital platforms to be equal to meeting in person and more effective than telephone coaching. Conversations can be rich and meaningful, with the advantage of you being able to turn their camera off your camera if you need to take time out to reflect on an insight, something that cannot be achieved when coaching is in person.
