The Kyosei Career Coaching Advantage
Whether you call it career clarity; authentic vocation; right livelihood; or passion, meaning and purpose at work — the Kyosei Career Coaching Program offers a depth and breadth of career coaching that is unequaled. Here’s why the Kyosei Career Coaching Program is the best choice for anyone serious about creating a fulfilling career:
Long-Term Focus: Many free government-sponsored programs provide great support if you just want help finding another job that can logically build upon your current career path. This focus on immediate job change (often driven by the need for these programs to meet certain job placement quotas to continue receiving funding) can short-change you from taking the time to explore your ideal vision for your life and work. Because we’re funded directly by you, we take extra the time to challenge you to delve deeper, dream bigger, and identify a career path that will bring authentic and lasting fulfillment for the long term. We can also help you get that new job immediately if that is what you want, but we do it in the context of ensuring that you have a clear understanding of how that immediate job fits into your long-term plan for the future.
Tools for a Lifetime: Rather than taking you through a few quick assessments, looking at your resume, and asking a few focused questions to determine your next job target, we demystify the process by helping you understand exactly what you need to know (and do) to identify a job target that fits with your passions. After working with us, you will not only have a clear immediate career target; you will be armed with the knowledge and tools to understand how to fine-tune your career focus and success over the course of your life. We regularly have past Clients contacting us from all over the world telling us how they still take out their coaching materials and refer to the tools to help them stay on track.
Designing Your Future vs. Re-Packaging Your Past: We excel at getting you out of the “resumé rut” – a career path that is limited by what you have done in the past. Many career coaches start by looking at the skills and knowledge you have gained in the past and trying to determine how these might be transferable to open up more suitable career opportunities for you. We start by identifying your four Core Passions. Your Core Passions represent your natural values, style, talents and interests and inform your purpose and vision. They are the foundation for creating meaningful work that energizes and enlivens you – the kind of work that fills you up rather than draining you. Once you understand these Passions and have a vision for your future, we then work with you to identify the transferable skills and knowledge you have – or the ones you need to develop – in order to chart a course from where you are to where you want to be. Whether you think you need to make a big career leap or a small one, our proven process will ensure that the leap you make is based on your ultimate possibility, rather than being limited by your current reality.
Multi-Use Integrated Life-Work Approach: Truly fulfilling work is not separate from the rest of your life, it is an integral part of it. Our coaches help you to identify more than a career vision – they work with you to create your ideal vision of a fulfilling, meaningful and prosperous life. Because it is based on the Kyosei Thrive Model™ a – a framework that we use to enhance wellness, leadership, performance, health, relationships, employee engagement, teamwork, and business and personal success on a variety of levels – the skills and knowledge you gain from career coaching will provide you with a framework that you can use for enhancing performance and fulfillment in all areas of life and work.
More than 20 Years of Passion and Continual Innovation: Our founder, Andrea Jacques, has been helping people find their Passions and translate this into meaningful, fulfilling and prosperous work for over twenty years. This depth and breadth of experience is transferred to all of our coaches through our Certification Programs. This enables us to give you both the wisdom of those who have navigated the path before you —and the support to find your own wisdom and unique direction. You’ll learn to anticipate roadblocks, prepare for them, address them quickly (or even avoid them altogether), and ensure that the bright vision you create is one you can achieve.
