Reply RE: NCDA: Facilitating Career Development: Gaining Insight
Hello Roxana,
We all have motives for helping other individuals but when it comes to career development and coaching our motives are to obtain employment for our clients. As Career Coaches we can assist the client in laying out an action plan, removing any barriers that may impede upon this process and assist the participant in setting some long and short-term goals.
Roxana, you stated that the individual took several months to follow your instructions. Some individuals may need some encouragement to stay focus on the process of obtaining employment. In this situation have the client began setting several short-term goals that are measurable with a target date. Then you may see a few things accomplished, but of course that is something the participant is willing to do.
