    Module A: Conceptual Framework for Career Success

    The pursuit of happiness is an important goal for many people. However, surprisingly little scientific research has focused on how happiness can be increased and sustained in career transition coaching. Many people are quite accomplished in their chosen fields. However, simply having these achievements does not necessarily lead to career success. 

    This module provides an empirical basis for career coaching, by examining the conceptual framework on the psychology of work and how the science of Positive Psychology can enrich approaches to career guidance, development, and transition.

     
    Part 1 Career Matter: Leveraging on Positive Psychology
    Working toward a fulfilling career is a long-term, continual development process. When you fail to intentionally become something, you unintentionally become anything, and that “anything” often leads to significant unhappiness. Helping you align your intention with your value and purpose is key to finding fulfilment at work. Using the PERMA model of flourishing, we explore the principal determinants of career success and discuss how the model can support you in finding alignment and achievement.
     
    This series of learning includes the following: 
    Understanding the Science of Happiness at Work
    Defining and Measuring Career Success
    Applying the PERMA Model
     
    Part 2 Increase Adaptability Competency 
    It is no surprise that, in a constantly changing world, adaptability is a crucial ingredient for career success. The “adaptability competency” means having flexibility in handling change, juggling multiple demands, and adapting to new situations with fresh ideas or innovative approaches. Applying self-efficacy theory as part of the coaching process can help develop, improve, and enhance your adaptability competency.
     
     
    Part 3 The Role of a Career Coach
    As Career Coach, we take on multiple roles in helping our clients map their career development and pathways.  In this section, we take a closer look at these roles and how the science applies to them - being a successful and effective career coach and helping our client to find career success and satisfaction.
     
    Career Compass   Partner with clients to gain insight of self and focus on the client’s cause
    Career Capital   Partner with client to review their internal assets and explore what are their available social capital resources
    Career Capability   Engage the client to stand boldly and moving forward to build their possible career

    Module B - Mastering the Career Coaching Competencies

    In mastering career coaching competencies, it is essential to be able to infuse/display the understanding of career development theories and the skilful applications of career development tools. Your coaching process is the foundation of your ability to help clients. Therefore, in this module, we will integrate career development theories, models, and tools into a coaching framework, to prepare coaches for a robust and effective coaching process.

    Part 1 Coaching Model and Framework for Career Development
    Career Development Models and Frameworks is the science that makes a career coaching process framework robust. By integrating career development theories into the coaching process, this will ignite an emerging mindset and create a generative change.  
    Traits and Factors Theory 
    Developmental Theory 
    Transitional Theory 
    Postmodern Theory 
     
    Part 2 Assessment Tools / Psychometric Tool
    Career Assessment Tools play an important role in any career coaching process.  They act as a catalyst to gain self-awareness, an approach that’s backed by scientific credibility.  A good understanding and application of the theory and components supporting the tools will be crucial in your coaching process. In this part, we will explore:
    RIASEC tool 
    Career Adapt-Abilities Scale 
    Career Projector
     
    Part 3 A Dialogic Coaching Process: Helping Skill for Career Guidance
    Most career coaching conversations are geared towards a dialectical method.  However, to manage more sustainable change, it’s preferable to have a more dialogic coaching process, invoking a search and understanding of the self as well as the situation. In this module, we will be leveraging CMA's ACC framework, integrating career development theories, tools, and models into a dialogic coaching process.  
    Challenge and ignite the innovation, creativity and innovation of the client 
    Address the impact of and provide help with the management of job loss/transition

     

  •  
    Module C - Integration
    A deeper discussion and study to integrate the concepts and processes of a dialogic coaching conversation is very much needed, to create understanding and develop competencies.  In this module, we will facilitate discussions and learnings using case studies, in the application of an ACC conversation 
     
    Part 1 Application of the ACC Conversation for Career Coaching
    Special attention on how to keep people making progress while developing the next steps after they achieve their goals, as well as how to inspire them to take on new challenges and look to the future with excitement and enthusiasm.
     
    Part 2 Case Study
    Uniquely real-life case studies in career coaching, commonly encountered by career coaches, to facilitate learning and proficiency in coaching competencies.
