Wirksames Karriere-Coaching: Ein Grundlagenmodell

This paper presents a theory- and research-based model for career coaching. It distinguishes four main areas of career coaching contents: (1) self-knowledge; (2) occupational and career knowledge; (3) career decision-making and career planning skills; (4) attitudes towards oneself and one??s career. The four content areas are addressed in a four-phase process (1) communication: problem analysis and establishment of coaching relationship; (2) analysis: working on the causes of the career concern; (3) synthesis/evaluation: developing and evaluation courses of action; and (4) execution: development of plans and strategies for goal implementation. The paper describes core elements of this model and shows how it can be applied in coaching practice.
