Yes. 

Career Coaching is included as a Recreational Therapy Vocational activity.

​"It typically refers to a brief, formal relationship between a client seeking to enhance their executive abilities and a consultant who “coaches” the client to increase those skills and abilities. Executive coaching is usually understood to involve a non-clinical client-coach relationship. It includes interventions that promote learning and cognitive and behavioral change for increasing self-awareness and improving job and interpersonal performance. Executive coaching can address both personal and professional development with a focus on the acquisition of new skills." (June 2018)

You determine your goals. Your Coaching Strategist works with you to determine how to attain the goals and implementation of real-world Action Plans. We utilize a variety of tools including the MAPP (Motivational Appraisal Personal Potential) career assessment. 

In the Intake coaching session, the Career Strategic Coach will assess client's business/ career goals and determine if there is a pragmatic path to collaborate on towards achievement of client's stated goals. 

Unpreparedness for coaching may include, but is not limited to:

- A client who wants an Career Strategic Coach to"figure out" their goals; or,

- A client who is not receptive to any feedback from an Strategic Coach as they believe they "know all the answers" and/or"has tried it all;"  or,

- A client who has unrealistic timeframes; or,

- A client who believes they "don't know" what they want; or,

- A client who identifies a skill deficiency and expresses no intention to attain the requisite skills; or,

- A client seeking a "shortcut" or "hack" to attain outcomes in an unrealistic, unethical, dishonest or ill-advised manner; or,

- A client who asserts that they know how to get what they want but that goal attainment"is based on who you know."

"The popularity of executive coaching owes much to the modern craze for easy answers. [...] To achieve fast results, many popular executive coaches model their interventions after those used by sports coaches, employing techniques that reject out of hand any introspective process that can take time and cause “paralysis by analysis.” The idea that an executive coach can help employees improve performance quickly is a great selling point to CEOs, who put the bottom line first. Yet that approach tends to gloss over any unconscious conflict the employee might have. This can have disastrous consequences for the company in the long term and can exacerbate the psychological damage to the person targeted for help." (June 2002)
