The Programme
Do you want to delve into these questions? Sign up now for an individual career coaching program. Our career coaching program consists of three interactive sessions of 1 to 2 hours full of insights and inspiration. During these hours, spread over a few weeks, you will discover:
- Who am I? Explore your personality, values, and what truly drives you.
- What can I do? Discover your unique talents and skills that you can apply in your future career.
- What do I want? Clarify your goals and ambitions and visualise your ideal career path.
- How will I achieve this? Develop an action plan to reach your goals and make your dreams come true.
Content and Preparation
During the program, the coach uses various tests and exercises. In the first session, you will work on a future scenario. In the final session, potential positions will be concretely examined. As for preparation time (for taking the tests and exercises), you should expect about 2 half-days over a period of 4 weeks.
