Internal Career Coaches:

• Increase the client’s awareness of career paths and enhance fit to achieve “right person/right job”
• Improve the capability of both individual and organization to manage constant change and transition
• Provide and model communication styles that enhance internal problem-solving skills, appreciate differences, and lead to long-term progress, rather than creating dependency on the coach
• Promote a win-win balance of work/life priorities, using the desired states of both individual and organization as benchmarks
• Guide organizational systems to evolve their culture by increasingly valuing their employees, implementing career development as a priority, and retaining human capital
• Blend training, organizational development, career/employee development and coaching at every level in an organization
