Aim High Ltd was established to provide a World class Executive and Career coaching service to enable clients to take greater control of their careers. Long gone are those days when the employee could expect the employer to provide a long term career plan. Instead, the emphasis has shifted on the employee who is expected to take greater control in managing his/her career. The world of working may be changing at a very fast pace, but that doesn’t mean to say careers need to lag behind.
Some people have an idea what they would like to achieve in their careers, yet may not know what they need to do in order to accomplish their professional ambitions. It can be very bewildering not knowing where to seek help and information necessary to make informed career choices in line with the individual’s professional ambitions For others, not knowing what they want to achieve professionally means they are more likely to end up following careers and jobs which may not be fulfilling or true to their career values, hence not utilising their full potential.
This is where our World Class Executive Coaches, can work with YOU and help you achieve your professional goals and ambitions with clarity and confidence. Our coaching service enables you to enjoy clarity right from the outset, whilst setting realistic action plans based on your professional needs. The service also enables you to navigate the world of work and make a greater professional impact.
Aim High Ltd services include the following:
The Changing Landscape
The landscape of the working world has changed significantly over the past few decades.
Business models have changed faster than at any given time in history and the old work
rule book is now being rewritten all too frequently. Gone too, are the days where jobs were
“for life” and the Company was responsible for an employee’s career. Instead employees
are now finding they have to make crucial career decisions without the objective support
which is SO vital moving forward.
There are could be endless reasons why employees have previously refrained from taking
active control ranging from: the company always made the decision, to the employee is
facing/has faced the prospect of redundancy or it could be old career values and goals have
changed. Consequently, many will also experience the “crossroads” feeling in their
careers, but don’t know how and what they need to do in order to move in the direction
they so wish. Sadly some people go through this “crossroads” feeling for many years
before actually deciding do something about it.
Moving forward, employees will come under immense pressure to take greater control of
their careers and adopt a win/win approach in crafting a career which suits their beliefs
and career values. This is where career coaching can play a pivotal role.
What is coaching and how does it Work?
Coaching empowers individuals to set their own career goals and own agenda and work
systematically in making positive changes. Coaching takes place through conversation - be
it face to face or over the telephone. These conversations are very different from daily
social conversations because coaching conversations are dynamic, focused and designed to
move you forward with your aim or goal.
Coaching raises your awareness and encourages you to take ownership and responsibility
for your own personal development. At Aim High Ltd, our coaching style is non
judgemental and non directional and all coaching sessions are strictly confidential.
Confidentiality is paramount to the coaching service provided by Aim High Ltd as this
enables you to be completely open and honest which are imperative if coaching is to truly
work.
It is important to appreciate that coaching is not a quick fix or a “band aid” remedy and no
good coach will ever make such a claim. As with many things, change does take time and
as a result and we advise potential clients to have a think of the commitment they are
prepared to make. The client decides the frequency and commitment to the coaching
process.
Some of the benefits of coaching are highlighted below:
• Greater empowerment
• Increase in professional self esteem and confidence
• Feeling a greater sense of achievement
• Greater direction in the way you wish to lead your professional life
