Career Coach: An Ally in the Remaking of You

Welcome to your one-stop shop for career coaches!  Clients love our unbeatable selection of hand-picked career coaches, and the Feroce Promise:  providing you with the right coach, all the time.  Your Personal Success Team will ensure one-stop coaching, no matter how often your goals change over time.

A career coach will use many tools to give you career advice and direction on a career change, or on developing an existing career, but the career resource our clients find most relevant is this:  all of our coaches have been successful in numerous very different careers, and we have mastered the art of personal reinvention and personal self-mastery -- integrity, work-life balance, time management, an ethic of excellence in all that we do.  We have distilled our knowledge into many powerful tools that are included at no extra cost in your coaching, see the Strategic Life Planning Process:  The Creation of the Future Self. 

Career coaching can help you find career direction or to excel in your current career.  The career coach isn't just for big-time executives, athletes, and celebrities anymore.  Because of coaching, thousands of people now love their careers as they never thought possible.

I'm Cameron Powell, founder of Feroce.  I am a member of the International Coach Academy and formerly a Coach Guide for Vocation Vacations.  I've successfully navigated several careers:  public speaker, leadership trainer, attorney, executive, entrepreneur, and more.  And I have a lot of experience coaching people through better performance in their careers and in starting up their own businesses on a shoe-string or with venture capital.  I also work with clients who are moving out of one career and into another.   

Compare our career coaches and decide which one's right for you -- and if you can't decide, no matter -- in the free consultation we'll use our expertise to place you with the best coach for you!

Sometimes we will just give you a little push over that cliff, but only after you've told me you're ready, looked back, and flashed the thumbs-up.

Or, imagine you're a CEO (as you are, in fact, the chief executive officer of your life).  You've got goals and the need to reach them, and you have a chief of staff following you around all day with a clipboard.  Do you get things done?  Thinks like cutting through the stories you tell yourself to get down to your true values, and aspirations, and past the self-limiting beliefs and rationalizations you've given yourself about why you can't do what you really want to do?

Yes, you do. Now picture a chief of staff who knows psychology, best business practices and organization, and motivational behavior.  This is what I do for you, by means of phone, email, and instant messenger contact with you throughout every week, noting your intentions and plans and making sure you get things done on your own deadlines.  I am strategist; I am accountability.  And you get things done.

Career Coaching
 

How can Feroce help you with your career?  First, your career coach will assess where you are now.  That will include an evaluation of what's holding you back.  And make no mistake:  even after just one session, we're often able to tell you some of the stories you've been telling yourself for too long. 

We also draw out your true loves.  You could ask a career advisor or career counselor to tell you what your "skills" are, but if you've been out of school for more than a few years, you already know them.  You may even be unhappy using them, right?  What you don't know is what your true loves are, or how to let yourself listen to them, and in many cases you don't know how or where you can find the courage and support to pursue them.  This is what coaching is all about.

Using a Pioneering Concept in coaching that we call Six Ways of Listening, along with a structured, 6-to-8-week Strategic Life Planning Process:  The Creation of the Future Self and other tools, we can guide you through the coaching breakthroughs that open you up to greater career success and fulfillment.

Second, sometimes you do know what you really want to do, but you've got some underlying conflicts that cause you to deny or dismiss it, or are otherwise stuck. I am highly successful in rooting out such subconscious barriers; some clients call it intuition but I just say what makes sense to me.

You'll also be able to get one-on-one coaching through our Strategic Life Planning process, constructed from our own experience and dozens of career-oriented books -- let us save you the time and money of buying and wading through so many resources. We've got them all in one place.

Skills testing, schmills testing.  While skills are important to know about, what you really know want to know is what you want to, and can, do.  That's where real creativity and a career coach's intuitive understanding of people -- what they say, how they say it, what they don't say -- come in.

There are a number of reasons clients seek help from a career coach:

* You want to get to the next level in your current job, enhance your performance, improve sales, and much more

* You are unhappy in life, but unsure what role your career plays in that grumbling dissatisfaction -- and you want some guidance on finding out.  Perhaps with a life coach?

* You are trying to decide what you really want to do -- and then come up with the courage to make a change and manage it

* You are already in career transition and want to map out your career's development with a career coach

* You have a big decision to make among different careers and want a sounding board and information

* You are deciding among job offers and seek additional (and unbiased) advice, including writing cover letters or figuring out how to negotiate the best compensation package for you

* You want to decide whether to get more education

* You are in a corporate job you want to leave, or are searching for or considering one

* You are struggling with a decision of whether to stay in a corporate job or strike out into less conventional employment and you feel you could benefit from career counseling or, better yet, the business coaching side of career coaching!
