“Learning to be a career coach has been such a boon to my professional practice. Not only can I coach on normal topics that clients bring, but I can also offer specific career coaching approaches. It means that I keep the mentoring to when we talk about CVs and interviews. And the rest of the time I simply coach. A great course and a great experience”
