I provide face-to-face, phone and video-conferencing coaching. I am also able to do research on your behalf and accompany you to your case meetings with employment agencies, university or training providers or Centrelink.
We generally discuss your needs over the phone and then I ask you to email me some information and questions. We then organise a time to meet face-to-face or video conference.
Fee Structure
I charge $122 per hour for all services. I suggest a suite of four sessions at a discounted rate of $400. This encourages commitment by both of us on the issues and opportunities at hand.
I am willing to negotiate a lower rate for clients with a Low Income Health Care Card. Initial phone discussion is free.
Strategies
Together we:
- Identify your ambitions, your strengths and challenges.
- Use some decision-making techniques to choose a path.
- Separate your career path into a series of achievable steps.
- Investigate any financial and training support that can be provided by the government and other helping organisations.
- Research education & training options for you.
- Can plan a transition into work from injury or ill health if required.
- Look at all your family, financial and government supports and make sure all are working together to help your career journey.
Autism/Aspergers Career Coaching
Many clients who identify with autistic/Aspergers struggle with the levels of ‘talk and text’ involved in face-to-face coaching and gravitate to my video coaching and digital resources and graphics.
Specifically focussed on autism/Asperger issues, I have developed sixty digital Coaching Cards that each cover a strategy or concept followed by suggestions or examples for its use. These cards are sent in a photo format designed to fit a single screen on the phone or tablet.
