Key Insights

⭐ Career coaching is still relatively unknown in Asia, but it is slowly gaining recognition and popularity. Many people are unfamiliar with what career coaches do and how they can help.

⭐ While certification from organizations like the International Coaching Federation (ICF) can be beneficial, it is not the sole indicator of a successful career coach. Experience, skills, and client testimonials are equally important factors to consider.

⭐ Young career coaches may lack the necessary experience and perspective to provide valuable guidance. It is important to assess a career coach’s background, including their corporate work experience and track record of success before seeking their services.

⭐ Career coaches can provide a fresh perspective and help identify blind spots that may hinder career growth. Seeking their input can lead to new insights and strategies for personal and professional development.

⭐ When choosing a career coach, it is crucial to look for one with a clear process. A well-defined coaching process ensures that clients receive structured guidance and actionable steps towards their career goals.
