Description

The Career Coaching Toolkit is a practical guide to 34 effective and relevant career coaching techniques to help practitioners encourage, stretch and clarify their clients’ thinking. Structured around ten of the most common career dilemmas clients bring to their coaches, this book provides clear advice to coaches about when to apply the right technique to address all of these problems.

With a dual focus on theory and practice, each chapter explores the links between the coaching technique and the scientific research on which it is based. The book explains how and why the technique works, giving the reader a real appreciation of the underlying mechanisms that make these techniques effective. Written specifically for career coaching, this deepened understanding will enhance confidence when working with clients.

A practical toolkit for practitioners and students alike, The Career Coaching Toolkit will add depth to the practice of anyone working with clients facing a career crossroads, or conducting research into occupational identities and career decision making.

"The Career Coaching Toolkit is a brilliant idea. Every career practitioner needs ideas, inspiration, best practice – but also a kitbag full of practical tools. This book offers 30 useful and exciting tools, sets them in context, and shows how and why they work. Career practitioners won’t want this on their bookshelves - they’ll need it close at hand."
