Coaching you to be clearer, more confident and purposeful so you take the job and career actions that are right for you.
David helps you to develop and grow beyond what you think yourself capable - to progress your career, gain a more meaningful future and work identity, or enhance your current job performance.
We all need to learn to leap again and again in our working lives - developing new skills, new knowledge, and adapting our mindset and behaviours for changing personal and business circumstances.
Because the world does not stand still.
Many people later in life say they wished they had known more when they were younger. You can avoid that trap by empowering yourself early on and navigating your career with confidence and skill.
Many people focus on technical skills without embracing the mindset, attitudes and so-called soft skills that are so vital in working life. Soft skills are tough! And they are transferrable.
You will have a more fulfilling and successful working life by investing in lifelong learning and understanding what it takes to be successful.
This course will help you learn to leap as a young professional!
