The better prepared you are for your session, the more you will get out of it. You should prepare several topics relating to your professional development and readiness to discuss with your coach and have them ready. You should find a quiet space without distractions so that you can give 100% of your focus to the session. Make sure to set at least a 30-minute reminder notification for your session so that you will be on time and get the full 30 minutes of coaching. Have your coaching topics ready. Some possible coaching session topics are:
- How to build confidence in the interview process
- How to prepare for a job interview
- How to acquire a job interview
- “I have no idea what to do for my career”
- “How do I pick which of my professional interests to pursue?”
- How to create goals for yourself and your career
- How to manage a difficult supervisor
- How to improve contribution to a team
- How to get promoted
- How to ask for an increase in compensation
- How to give notice without burning a bridge
These are just suggestions! You can bring any other topics that you want to discuss and are relevant to your life and your professional career.
