Impacting The Society And The World With Career Coaching

By Iva Cannon


One of the markers of a society is the different roles that members play. These roles essentially translate into careers or professions. Choosing a profession comes easy for some people but for others the decision poses a challenge and they need help. Through the help of career coaching experts, people of varying ages are able to find and embark on their desired professional paths.

Many sociologists support he view that the best time to prepare for a profession is during the teen to young adult years when the education process is in its mid-phase. It is through this type of coaching that youngsters are guided into the most suitable fields of work for their aptitudes and attitudes. This is the chief reason so many people associate the need for career guidance with youth.

It may not seem to be so on the surface, but many adults also need this type of help. Many times adults who are already engaged in a profession feel the need for a change. This is where a career coach becomes important. This coach can assist the individual to properly asses the current situation and make informed decisions about their professional future.

This kind of help for adults does not always relate to the changing of professions. These coaches also use their expertise to help persons who want to advance in their current careers. For some persons this need arises when they begin to feel uneasy or dissatisfied with their level of performance or their current roles in a given field. This dissatisfaction often gives rise to the need to advance either by accessing promotion or switching departments. A high school teacher for instance, may aspire to move into another role in education as either a lecturer or a principal.

The training given to career coaches is designed to ensure that they are adequately equipped to meet their clients' needs. This is why psychology and sociology based courses feature heavily in these training programs. Coaches must be able to assess characters and make evaluations based on the emotional and psychological status of their clients.

The psychological needs of each client is very important and a coach has to be able to recognize this. This recognition makes it more likely for the needs to be addressed. The coach has to also be able to understand that often what the client expresses is not what is truly needed and diplomatically and gently urge the client in the professionally sound direction.

In addition to professional coaches, modern society features the traditional or informal ones. These are the people who often already play a guiding role in the lives of others such as teachers, mentors and parents. In some intimate relationships, spouses fulfill this role to each other. There are however, more complex cases which require the intervention of a trained professional.

Coaches who guide people in the making of professional related decisions are life coaches. They hold in their hands, one part of the solution that may change their clients' lives for the better. Since this role, successfully executed, leads to successful professionals, it may be deduced that these coaches play a key role in determining he success of a society.
