Key Insights
โญ 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.
โญ 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.
โญ 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.
โญ 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.
โญ 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.
