By Iva Cannon


Society, even from primitive days has always required that each member plays a role in ensuring the survival of all. This is how careers came into being. Some people find it easy to decide on what they want to do with their lives professionally but for others this decision is a difficult one to make. Career coaching is beneficial to people of all ages. It helps to set the on the right path to a fulfilling and successful professional life. Those who engage in this supportive role often find it fulfilling and purposeful.

When people think of profession guidance they automatically think of it as something that young people need. This is true to some extent. For young people, that period of time in which they undergo the preparation for entering the world of work is crucial. Career coaches, through the application of their expert knowledge are able to provide the guidance needed to ensure that teens and young adults have a clear idea and vision of what they should do with their future professional lives.

It may not seem to be so on the surface, but many adults also need this type of help. Many times adults who are already engaged in a profession feel the need for a change. This is where a career coach becomes important. This coach can assist the individual to properly asses the current situation and make informed decisions about their professional future.

Sometimes the help that adults need is related to their current professions. Someone who, for instance, is stuck at a particular point in a certain field and have the desire to advance may need professional direction. The coach, in this situation may assist the client in deciding on the actions that need to be taken in order to access a promotion or transition into another department or area within the field.

A professional career coach is specially trained to combine expert knowledge with the information they gather from their clients to guide their approach. This training includes a combination of sociology and psychology based courses along with some practical activities. This formal training and certification is designed to ensure that each coach is fully equipped to meet the needs of varying clients. In addition, the coaches need to ensure that they remain abreast of the situation in the area of careers.

The psychological aspect of a coach's task is very important. The coach must be able to make evaluations on the emotional and metal status of each client before directing them on any path. They must ensure that their clients are not just mentally prepared but also psychologically capable of handling the decisions being made about their careers.

Informal coaches exist in all societies. These are the nurturers in the society such as parents, teachers and mentors. These individuals often give advice on profession selection to those whose lives they mold. Some people even find that their spouses make great coaches for this purpose. When the needs extend beyond the average though, expert assistance is a must.

Coaches who guide people in the making of professional related decisions are life coaches. They hold in their hands, one part of the solution that may change their clients' lives for the better. Since this role, successfully executed, leads to successful professionals, it may be deduced that these coaches play a key role in determining he success of a society.
