Presented in three parts, the book covers developments in theory and research and applies this knowledge to the real world. Part 1Theories of Career, looks at 21st century career paths, job satisfaction and career changes – both planned and unplanned. Part 2Career Coaching Approaches, looks at coaching strategies that are applicable to career coaching in particular. Part 3Coaching into the World of Work, covers specific real-world situations where coaching is beneficial, from job search strategies to CV and interview coaching. Evidence and research is used throughout to demonstrate the most effective strategies for coaching.

The Career Coaching Handbook provides an essential introduction for students or practitioners who are interested in developing their own practice, finding new and improved ways to do things and understanding the theories that underpin effective career coaching practice.
