Career Counselling and Coaching in North Grenville, Ontario.

Successful careers require the same attention and understanding you put into a successful relationship. If you are being overlooked or bullied at work, it can feel like your value as a person is being dismissed. There are strategies for identifying what you wish to achieve in your career and practical steps to get there. These strategies not only provide a roadmap for your career but also offer a sense of hope and inspiration, showing that growth and development are always within your reach. Don't give up on yourself or the possibility of finding a way to achieve your goals. We spend so much time making sense of the work environment that it can sometimes feel overwhelming. It's not.

Who benefits from career counselling? You might be a student looking for direction or a person considering a career change. You may also be looking to delve deep and assess your talents, skills, interests, personality or learning style.

Assessment tools can be very helpful in making informed career choices and developing a personalized career path but are best utilized along with an experienced counsellor.

A career is more than just a way to pay the bills. Every person spends most of their life in their careers and the career satisfaction/non-satisfaction spills over to the person’s personal life, too. However, there are many variables that can lead to career dissatisfaction. It can be the environment, interpersonal relationships, the skills and talents required for the job, and ultimately the person’s view of the job. A successful career counselling helps the client to take a closer look at these variables and to tackle the issues that lead to an unhealthy career life.
