My Philosophy
Resilience Career Coaching’s approach to coaching includes several philosophies to include Ikigai and The 8 Dimensions of Wellness. We strive to maintain a balanced outlook in coaching by acknowledging both the challenges and opportunities present in a client's situation without veering into pessimism or toxic positivity. Our goal is to help clients cultivate resilience, optimism, and well-being while acknowledging the complexities and realities of life.
At Resilience Career Coaching, our methodology is designed to holistically support clients on their journey towards personal and professional growth, integrating the following approaches:
-
Validation: We prioritize creating a validating environment where clients feel heard, understood, and validated in their experiences, emotions, and aspirations. Validation fosters trust and rapport, laying the foundation for effective coaching.
-
Realistic Optimism: We cultivate a mindset of realistic optimism, acknowledging challenges while maintaining a positive outlook on the possibilities for growth and change. This balanced perspective empowers clients to envision achievable goals and navigate setbacks with resilience.
-
Empowerment: Central to our approach is the principle of empowerment, wherein clients are encouraged to recognize their strengths, talents, and potential. Through personalized guidance and support, clients develop the confidence and agency to take proactive steps towards their career aspirations.
-
Self-Compassion: We emphasize the importance of self-compassion in navigating challenges and setbacks. By cultivating self-compassion, clients learn to treat themselves with kindness and understanding, fostering resilience and self-acceptance in the face of adversity.
-
Gratitude and Acceptance: Practicing gratitude and acceptance enables clients to embrace their current circumstances, cultivate a sense of contentment, and find meaning and fulfillment in their professional endeavors. These practices foster a positive mindset and resilience in the face of adversity.
-
Flexibility and Adaptability: Recognizing the dynamic nature of both personal and professional life, we promote flexibility and adaptability in goal-setting and action plans. Clients learn to navigate change with agility, adjusting their strategies as needed to align with evolving priorities and circumstances.
