At BetterUp, every career coaching session is catered to the individual. If you’re trying out BetterUp for the first time, it’s likely your coach might review your results from your Whole Person Assessment with you.
It’s also likely that your first career coaching session will be an introduction to what to expect out of the coaching experience.
But over time, you and your coach will work together to identify areas to talk about in your sessions. For example, you can practice your communication and public speaking skills with your coach. You can run through scenarios to help better your conflict resolution skills. You can tackle any real-world challenges that may have arisen recently. You can practice giving (and receiving) feedback.
In my career coaching sessions, I’ve talked about many things with my coach. She helps me tame my inner critic and manage my imposter syndrome. She’s also helped me build confidence and guide me toward upskilling opportunities to better develop my career path.
But she’s also told me when I need to rest and take a pause. She’s helped me set boundaries and continues to challenge me to prioritize effectively.
