What is career coaching and how does it work?
Let me try to explain from over 15 years experience of providing career coaching.
Who am I?
I am Claire Bain, career coach in N. Ireland and I provide coaching, training and facilitation services to help people
achieve personal and business results. I work with clients to achieve clarity and direction for these results. I do
this by developing plans and pathways with clients, support them maintain motivation and overcome the
challenges to achieve success.
How do I help clients ?
Through career coaching I support clients solve three common problems: clarity of thought, develop pland and provide motivation.
Clients can often get overwhelmed with ideas and thoughts “spinning” in their heads. I give clients an
opportunity to “get them out”, review them with a confidential and non judgemental approach.
My only agenda is to give clients a chance to articulate these thoughts in a safe environment, identify which
ones are helpful and those that are not. Through this clients are able to get clarity for their goals and direction.
This leads to developing logical step by step plans and creates structure with a path for implementation. I also
work with clients to identify and build on their strengths.
When challenges and barriers are faced I work with clients to overcome them and build coping strategies.
I am very tuned in to people’s strengths and capabilities and how they can be drawn on for resource and
motivation. I use tools and techniques to build clients confidence which provides motivation and momentum
to move forward.
Why am I passionate about my business?
I love to see people grow and develop, to become independent and thrive. I love to see clients have “light bulb”
moments and and realise how competent and capable they are. My ideal client is someone who wants to take
personal responsibility and achieve something. I work with clients face to face and virtually.
If you are wanting to set goals or facing barriers and challenges to achieving them please do get in touch and
we can explore how I can help you. I take pride in my Professionalism which is underpinned with
confidentiality and a non-judgemental approach.
