10 Awesome Questions To Become Your Own Best Career Coach

Have you ever wondered what a Career Coach could do for you?

A Career Coach is always going to be focused on helping you achieve more of what you want from your career…

Whether that’s more opportunities…

Or…

Negotiating better deals for your career…

Or…

Helping you establish your profile as the expert – and the asset – that you are.

I thought it would be really valuable to give you some questions that you could ask yourself to offer up a fresh perspective on where you are and where you want to be.

Grab a cup of tea, a notebook and pen and see what you uncover about yourself!

Question 1:
What do you want from your career in the next 12 months?

Question 2:
What’s the no.1 opportunity you want from your career in the next 6-12m?

Question 3:
What are the potential obstacles to that goal?

Question 4:
In which areas are you getting recognition and in which areas are you not?

Question 5:
Which of your strengths does your current role require?

Question 6:
Which of your strengths, natural talents, skillsets, expertise, technical knowledge are being under utilised right now?

Question 7:
How happy are you with your salary? (If 10= totally happy and 0= not at all happy)

Question 8:
Are you currently giving yourself your best chance of being happy, satisfied and successful? Score yourself out of 10. (If 10= completely and 0= not at all)

Question 9:
Is your company (boss, culture etc) setting you up for success right now? Score this out of 10. (If 10= completely and 0= not at all)

Question 10:
What are your top 3 priority actions as a result of this self-assessment?

This last question is vital to answer…

For any change to occur there needs to be action.

So what will you choose to do, right now… today… with this new knowledge?
