Frequently Asked Questions

Career coaching is a structured process that helps you gain clarity, direction and control over your career progression.
A good career coach helps you understand how decisions are made at work, how to position yourself for opportunities, and how to move towards higher pay, recognition or more senior roles with intention rather than guesswork.
Unlike mentoring or generic advice, career coaching focuses on your specific situation — your role, your goals, your organisation and the dynamics you’re operating within — and gives you practical guidance, accountability and support to make progress.
At its core, career coaching is about helping you stop drifting and start making deliberate career moves.
