Coaching is the most expensive but also the most powerful and
effective way of undertaking personal transformation.
It is reported that Tiger Woods, the famed golfer, has 5
personal coaches, covering his golf strokes, nutrition and
exercise.
Coaching is in fact a fruitful job pursuit - the need for
coaches is projected to grow, as those who seriously commit to
their goals seek experts to accelerate their journey.
A good career coach is one who combines both knowledge and
experience with good inter-personal skills to make the client
feel comfortable, engaged in the process of self-development,
and demonstrate excellent
follow-through. Remember, if you have a poor track record of
keeping your promises, then a coach is not going to be of much
help.
Examples of coaching provided by Job Success coaches include
- Voice coaching
- Communications skills
- Career Selection
- Overcoming apathy
- Goal Focus and Attainment
- Onboarding - making the first 90 days on a new job a
resounding success
- Team Leadership Skills Development
- Improving Confidence
- Resume and other job search document preparation
For those who are highly self-motivated, we offer much of the

Overcoming Lack of Confidence
You can reduce your budget for a coaching
engagement by accessing this content first, getting mentally
ready for your transformation. You'll need fewer coaching
sessions, and you'll likely make a better selection of a coach
after reading up on the areas where you need development help.
Of course, there are many job seekers who need that extra nudge
and rarely undertake development on their own. A good coach can
be invaluable to such people. Imagine accelerating your job
search by two or three months. Each month without a paycheck
costs the average US job seeker $4,800, thus an intervention by
a coach can be worth $15,000 or more in reduced period of
unemployment.
Job Success offers access to expert career coaches, with
sessions held over the phone. Our distinguished career
coaches are located in the US, Europe and India.
Some of our coaches are listed on the
Experts page.
The first 30 minutes of the initial coaching session are free.
