The Client’s Role in a Successful Career Coaching Relationship
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
People who are seriously considering engaging the services of a career coach usually ask many questions about what the advisor “will do or should do” in order to make the coaching relationship work for the client. This is certainly reasonable and understandable. However, there are also several “prerequisites” or standards that the client must meet for the engagement to be successful. Unfortunately, these criteria are rarely discussed during the “contracting process” between coach and client.
In my work as a career coach, I make it clear to prospective clients that “this is a two-way street.” Of course, I commit to doing my part to the best of my ability. But the client also has important commitments and responsibilities in the coaching relationship.
In my opinion, there are at least six behaviors and attitudes which clients need to embrace to help make any career coaching engagement successful.

Perhaps you’re changing careers, or have not landed your first job yet. Maybe the industry you’ve always worked in has been shrinking, or is even disappearing. You may feel that there is “no hope” to break into a new field, or you may fear that you’ll need to take a big step backward in order to change your career direction.
By understanding and identifying your transferable (portable) skills, a new and better career can become a reality!
Career Webinars
“By Popular Demand”
We have often been contacted by people nationwide and abroad, asking if Ford’s local “LIVE” seminars have been recorded or if they can be accessed online. Our answer has always been, “Sorry, no.” So, to make this vital career material available to everyone, Career Potential now offers a unique webinar series every other month. These career webinars can be accessed from anywhere, and from any computer or mobile device!

Career-Coach-on-CallSM
“Urgent Care” For Your Career
Do you have the occasional need for career guidance, but not enough to justify engaging in a complete career coaching program? Would you like quick access to a leading career expert, and only pay for as much coaching as you need?
Then we have the perfect solution for you. Career-Coach-on-Call is a new service offering from Career Potential, LLC.
Until now, Career Potential, LLC only accepted “full program clients” and offered no “coaching by the hour.” Career-Coach-on-Call makes professional career coaching more flexible and accessible on a short-term basis, without the big commitment.
Career Coaching via Video Conference
For many years, we have worked via video conference with “long distance” clients (or local clients whose circumstances have made it difficult to visit our offices). Our coaching model allows us to work remotely and still provide exceptional levels of connection, quality and impact.
Here are just some of the benefits of doing career coaching via video chat:
Time – clients save time by not having to travel to our offices for coaching sessions
Comfort – clients are often more comfortable working from their own homes or offices
Flexibility – clients experience fewer planning conflicts and more flexibility with scheduling
Convenience – clients who travel for work are still able to attend their coaching appointments by using mobile devices from anywhere
Career coaching via video conference is easy and effective.
Connect with Ford on LinkedIn
For those who have been asking, LinkedIn is the social media platform I engage in most and spend the most time on. If you would like to connect with me on LinkedIn, click here and send me a brief invitation.
