613_ Career development and career enhancement for 2009
We’re seeing some staggering reports of job losses and predictions of a prolonged recession. On top of that every market is changing radically. It is said that we are training people for jobs that don’t exist yet. How does one navigate these choppy waters? We asked our own Kari Nelson to check into coaching. What is it, who is it for? Selecting Jones Associates, Inc., a local coaching firm with eleven years in the business, Kari invited Leslie Jones, president and Dr. Martin Kettelhut to share their perspective and shed some light on the subject. Have you wondered what different services offer, from consulting to therapy? Is coaching different? Dr. Kettelhut says, “The main differences really lie in the level and the kind of change that they facilitate for people. A consultant comes in and advises you on how to do something, install a computer system or merge companies. A therapist deals specifically with pathology deep in the psyche. But coaching is very different. We work with healthy individuals who are up for transformation, and the amount of transformation is completely up to you. To demonstrate the complete transformability of a human being, just imagine that you knew you were going to die in a month, or starting in one month your life is going to be the way it is now, in every way, for the rest of eternity… Now, what do you want to put closure on… what do you want to create in that month?” Leslie adds, “I think bottom line this is all very customized, that people get what they come to get and it is very different from person to person.”
