Goal setting is indispensable to advance in your search. A career coach will help you recognize where you are going and build benchmarks to get there. Keep the goals simple and attainable are the first two steps in setting your goals with your coach.

Being unsatisfied at work often promotes difficult emotions, including low self-esteem, doubts about yourself, and lack of confidence. Not being happy each day you go to work causes stress and anxiety. Your coach can help you by facilitating your progress and helping you maintain balance in your self-care. Similarly, being in a high-stress job myriad of demands can also be wearisome and damaging for your self-esteem. Working 40 or 50 hours a week in a position that you hate can make you feel vulnerable and worried about the future.

A career coach empowers you to avoid costly mistakes going it alone, to overcome setbacks, take action and maintain your focus. Discovering happiness in your work requires you to challenge feelings such as self-doubt and rejection in healthy ways rather than letting these factors sabotage your progress. Coach facilitation helps you find happiness, energy, and freedom in your career and life.
