What do we mean by career planning?
For us, career planning means actively shaping your professional development so that you can realize your strengths and values in the context of your work. So that your work fits your life again – and not the other way around.
With our career coaching you recognize
- what you can do really well
- what you really want
- how you can use both to find a job with meaning.
Unsere Arbeitsweise
We support you with professional change requests
of all kinds, for example:
- You are unhappy with your job and don’t know what you would like to do instead.
- You doubt yourself and your abilities.
- You are afraid of job interviews.
In job coaching, we work together to find out what you need for a fulfilling professional life. With this knowledge, it is easy to make confident decisions about your professional future.
The coaching appointments can take place in person or online as a video call.
SEQUOYA means: sequoia tree
Sequoias are survival artists and can withstand any challenge – earthquakes, storms, lightning strikes,… If the trees are injured, the deep-rooted giants of the forest activate their self-healing powers.
We want the same for you!
In job coaching, we support you in discovering your own greatness and recognizing where you could put down roots. And if life has a storm in store, you know which inner source of strength will help you through this time.
Special topics in job coaching
Coaching for returning to work after parental leave
Children turn their parents’ lives upside down. Also the professional life of mothers and fathers. However, mothers take parental leave more often and for longer than fathers. And in most cases, they are the ones who no longer work full-time after having a child. This not only has a financial impact, but also often damages self-esteem. This is mainly because mothers, especially part-time working mothers, are often less confident than they were before giving birth. Which is completely absurd.
Coaching can help to make the return to work after parental leave more relaxed, deal with your own insecurities and find a good balance between work and family.
Resilience coaching and burnout prevention
Resilience is a person’s ability to get up again and again and return to a good state even after periods of stress or crises. This ability is important for staying healthy in the long term in a working environment that is becoming ever faster and ever more complex.
In our resilience coaching, you systematically develop your own resilience and thus effectively protect yourself from possible burnout. You recognize your personal stress factors and develop solutions to reduce them. You will discover which strategies will help you to remain more relaxed in everyday life and to emerge stronger from crises.
Coaching for people with ADHD
People with ADHD face particular challenges in working life. Another deadline missed, another important document misplaced – but 7 new, really good ideas developed for the project. Unfortunately, that was not the task. Social interaction at work can also pose challenges for people with ADHD.
The SEQUOYA team includes several coaches who are well versed in ADHD and its effects on professional life. As a rule, people with ADHD remain below their potential because the regular office routine does not suit neurodiverse people well. Together we will find out what you need to work well and how you can master difficult situations in your professional life.
Coaching for support in crises
Not everything in life always goes according to plan. Quite the opposite. And sometimes there aren’t just stones in the way, but a whole avalanche of them, so that you don’t know where to start clearing up – also for fear that more will start rolling in.
Such crises, whether professional or personal, naturally also have an impact on work. Anyone who has reached their inner breaking point cannot do “business as usual”.
Our coaching supports you in sorting out the crisis and, step by step, getting back to a life and work routine in which more ease is possible again.
Kickstart your career coaching
Today, developing your own personality is a decisive factor on the path to greater professional and personal success. Personal development is therefore an integral part of all our coaching sessions.
To help you get to the heart of your career coaching even faster, we have an additional offer for you: Kickstart coaching with the LINC Personality Profiler.
