We know that an obviously good factual aptitude for a profession is only one – albeit important – building block of the foundation for a successful career. Other foundation stones are the inner drive, the desire to take up a certain profession, precise information about the activities in the desired career and – last but not least – the feeling that you have made an independent decision about your professional career. In the course of the coaching process, you develop a sense of the profession in which you could best apply your interests and skills, and in which profession you could develop the greatest ambitions.

Forming an independent opinion, a self-determined choice of profession, which you can justify to yourself and others, are the goals of this coaching.

The support of the coach consists in letting you come to ideas about yourself and what makes you tick through professional questioning. In this way, in a respectful way and not by judging your individual personality, you will develop clarity about your abilities and possibilities.
