When it comes to getting some valuable advice about
career, we almost
always think of
professional career
coaches to give us that.
Of course, they are very
reliable individuals who
have the experience and
the knowledge to share with ordinary people some
strategies that they know in terms of achieving
success in a career. But without them, is it still
possible for us to know what we should and
shouldn’t do to ensure we will succeed in our
careers?
We all fail in our careers at some point. But not all of
us are able to get up from those failures and move on
immediately. This is an important skill to learn, and
one that isn’t necessarily taught by a life coach. By
analyzing our career failures, we can definitely learn
some very important lessons. This article aims to
make you aware of the ways people normally ruin
their careers and put their career development in
jeopardy.
1. Taking Your Education for Granted
If you spend so much time partying in college and
eventually get a low GPA, you will definitely be
overlooked for a good entry level job. Another thing
that could hurt your pursuit of your career goals is to
not finish your master’s degree.
2. Moving without Any Plans
Considering how difficult and competitive the current
job market is, it is likely that you end up with a job
that you are not so crazy about. There is nothing
wrong with that, but it is important that you have a
career plan that will help you reach what you want to
become. Every job that you choose to have should be
a stepping stone towards your ultimate dream job or
career.
3. Not Telling the Truth in Your Resume
One of the best ways you can ruin your credibility
and your career is to like in your resume. Companies
take applicants’ resumes seriously, and they could
even run a background check on those who they
think are too good to be true. Finding out that some
parts of your resume are exaggerated will force
potential employers to put your resume straight to
the trash bin.
4. Job Hopping Because of Money
It is true that employers do not favor job hoppers so
much. But there are still many of them who see the
good side of hiring job hoppers. However, if it is
proven that you change jobs frequently to chase
higher paychecks, you are losing your credibility as
an honest and hardworking individual. Finding new
career is positive if you do it to enrich your skills and
yourself in general and not to satisfy your pocket
only.
Life coaches are hired by organizations and
individuals who need
guidance as they try to
set and achieve their
particular goals in life.
Such goals may differ
significantly, and may
include personal,
spiritual, health, athletic, and even professional goals.
If you are seriously considering finding a coach who
will clear your mind as to what you should and

shouldn’t do, you may also be wondering what
actually happens during a coaching session.
Well, there are many tools that life coaches may use
to come up with valuable action steps that will help
their mentee achieve their goals. In most cases, they
have this series of questions which are designed in a
way that can build and even challenge the awareness
of the person they are coaching.
Core Values: Coaching is a lot different from
consulting. Basically, a life coach asks certain
questions with the aim of enabling their clients to
think of solutions themselves, rather than directly
giving them the solutions to whatever their concerns
are. The beauty of such questions is that they identify
the core values of the individual or the organization
so that these values will serve as a guide in designing
which action plans should be taken.
Motivation: Not many of us are aware but we all have
some sort of blind spots that actually keep us from
seeing and recognizing things as how they really are.
Such blind spots are almost always based on beliefs
and assumptions that result from our past
experiences. The thing is that these assumptions and
beliefs are not always true. So what happens is that
our actions and decisions are likely to lead us away
from all our goals in life. The role of a life or career
coach is to make us realize that there are many other
options we can explore, and opportunities to take
advantage of.
Actions: It is usually our emotion and instinct that tell
us what to do. It is definitely hard to find the wisdom
to choose what is right for us. Life coaches ask many
different questions, whose answers are meant to
make us realize how we should avoid making
irrational actions and decisions. Actually, every
individual has the ability to think deeper and realize
what could be making him or her do unreasonable
and irrational things. This could explain why life
coaches and mentors would usually encourage their
clients to learn to meditate and listen to what is really
in their hearts. This is also why by merely listening to
motivational words, we usually feel better and
wiser.
There are times that we know just what direction we
want to go with our
lives, but sometimes we
feel unhappy about
certain things we aren’t
even know about. Life
coaching is a very
important and helpful
tool for us to be able to
set our goals in life, and also to figure out what things
we can, should and want to do. By working with a life
coach, you will be guided in creating a structure plan
of what you are going to do with your life to achieve
all your goals and dreams.
Techniques and Methods that Will Help You Reach
Your Goals
A good mentor is an experienced individual who also
knows a lot of different tools that can map out a plan
for you. Your coach will be providing you a lot of
different options, which you may not even think are
possible for you. Life coaches are smart people who
ask challenging and very insightful questions that will
guide you as you make up your mind on which life or
career path is best for you. Once you have decided on
your goals and the actions you should take, your
coach will make sure you are entirely committed to
reaching your goals.
Overcoming Low Self Esteem and Insecurities
We often talk to ourselves about the things we cannot
do and why we just can’t do those things. Self talking
is normal, but what’s not good is when it reaches the
point where we end up discouraging ourselves from
doing something because we think we don’t have
what it takes to get it done. Having low self esteem

and a lot of insecurities isn’t good for our growth as
individuals. Doubting your own abilities is the same
as setting the limitations to what you can do and
achieve.
Life coaching can help you get over all your
insecurities and the things that make you lose your
confidence in yourself. Life coaches are equipped
with different tools and strategies that we can use to
change the way we see ourselves and to make sure
we develop a more positive image of ourselves.
Assessing and Exploring All Your Options
You know that you need to take action to achieve all
your goals. But which way should you go? Your life
coach will present to you all the possibilities out
there and all the options available for you. He or she
will also let you understand what the possible
outcomes of each path will be so you can weigh
which one you should pursue.
