Why career coaching for men in mid-life?

The pace that the business world has changed over the past few decades means we can no longer look to our fathers and grandfathers to guide how to approach careers for men in mid-life. Research shows the career issues and concerns for men and women in mid-life differ and yet men are consistently under-represented as coaches.

Who designed the programme, how does it work?

Careers Redesigned is founded on the successful Firework career transformation progamme with hundreds of successful client journeys executed. With my deeper training in adult learning, psychology, careers and design, I’ve added a few additional elements such as DISC EQ profiling for which I’m accredited to bring extra value, and yes a male perspective.

What kind of commitment level is involved?

When we’re talking about the next chapter in your life, you’d want to be taking this seriously but at the same time you’re probably running fast and hard so this programme whilst demanding is built to work around the busy life you have. It’s designed to run between six and nine months. The first seven sessions are typically three weeks apart to build momentum and then things space out depending on the shift projects you’re tackling.

Is everything done within the 12 sessions?

The 12 sessions are there to kickstart your thinking and reflect on the progress you’re making. In between sessions are a series of structured activities - everything is written down in checklists to make this super easy. This means you make maximum progress in the shortest amount of time and that we make best use of the coaching time we have together.

Is everything included in the course fee?

Yes. The course fee includes all the tuition, 12 one to one coaching sessions, your Strengthfinder assessment, DISC EQ personality assessment and all the worksheets done for you. It also includes my time assessing and evaluating your progress against the programme objectives, worksheets, shift projects and preparing outside of our session time.
