Career Coaching Auckland New Zealand

How does Allison Fisher Career Coaching work?

• On our first consultation, I will take you through a process that identifies exactly where you're at with your career and your life in general.
• Next, we establish your coaching objectives.
• Then, we work through what I call the "passion process" whereby you discover what inspires, motivates and energises you. (It won't happen overnight, but it will happen!)
• From my coaching you can expect to discard any negative beliefs blocking your progress; identify your strengths, weaknesses and working style; and pinpoint the types of working environments that enhance you.
• At the end of our sessions, you will have an individual career plan that reflects your values, attributes and true passions. In addition, you will have developed an "ideal role profile" to use when making decisions about your future.

My approach to career coaching is founded on the well-respected work of Dr Barbara Moses, combined with my own extensive coaching and human resource management experience.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

How many sessions does career coaching typically entail?
That depends on what you want to achieve. Often, you will have clarity and a clear direction after three or four sessions, although it can take a little longer with some clients.

"Allison is a very friendly and informed character who makes light work of career decisions." - Marcus, Student

Allison can assist you by providing tools and guidance to ensure that you follow the correct career direction for you.

"The cards opened up new horizons, opened new angles of looking at new ideas.  Allowed myself clear thinking.  Allowed me to gather ideas and direction of where to next." - Zoe, 30 years, Manager

"I went to Allison because I was feeling at a real cross roads in my career, and didn't really know what I wanted to do. I felt myself applying for jobs with the 'scatter gun' approach and that I wasn't really sure about what I truly wanted to do. By talking with Allison she made me think about what I was good at and what I would like to be doing. I felt she reinstated my faith in my own abilities and potential which had waned somewhat. I did the Myers Briggs survey which I recommend as a way of finding out what sort of career would suit your personality, I couldn't believe how accurate it was.
Today I have accepted a role in a totally different industry and totally different field to what I have been working in the last 6 years. I feel totally energised and excited about the possibilities with this role and I think Allison was instrumental in helping me get there." - Ex Event Manager

"I found that the coaching reinforced a lot of things that I knew I needed to change and provided me with some new ways of dealing with problems. One questionnaire quite helped me see my skills and interests are better suited for a different type of career than the one I am in at the moment." - 39 year old Surveyor
