Deep dives
The Definition and Focus of Career Coaching
Career coaching focuses on professional development while also emphasizing the client's identity, strengths, virtues, and values. It aligns with the principles of person-centered relationship theory and applied positive psychology, where exploring one's identity, purpose, and impact are crucial. Career coaching helps individuals separate their professional and personal identity, encouraging them to live from the inside out rather than the outside in. Assessments like the VIA character strengths assessment play a significant role in career coaching, providing clients with tangible validation of their strengths and talents.
Navigating the Landscape of Career Coaching
Career coaching in 2023 is influenced by a rapidly changing world, where people are more open to doing things differently and exploring unique paths. The relationship between work, success, and change is evolving, leading to a shift in career coaching dynamics. Clients are seeking meaning, purpose, and alignment with their values and strengths. Coaches utilize future visioning and positive psychology techniques to help clients envision their desired career, explore different possibilities, and make changes aligned with their values and goals. Career coaches also address the anxiety and uncertainty associated with change, and assist clients in developing wellness practices to manage their emotions and navigate complex life stages.
How Positive Psychology Supports Career Coaching
Positive psychology plays a crucial role in career coaching by providing various tools and models to enhance self-awareness, identify strengths, and foster growth. Coaches utilize exercises like vision boards, the best possible future self, and happiness courses to help clients explore their values, virtues, and potential career paths. Positive psychology techniques enable clients to develop a growth mindset, embrace discomfort and multiple paths, and find alignment between their reality and internal self. Coaches also address the impact of social media on clients' self-perception and assist in creating a healthier relationship with digital platforms. Overall, positive psychology empowers coaches to create structured coaching engagements that support clients in career exploration and self-actualization.
