Do you have what it takes to be a Career Counselor?

www.edugroomers.com

Career counseling is similar to traditional counseling, while the primary focus of career counseling is to provide career options, career development and various career related issues. Career counseling helps an individual to select a career field and related course that would help them be smart and financially independent. It also helps an individual to understand his strengths and weaknesses and get into a career that is best suited to his aptitude, skills and interest.

Career counselors are known to work with people from all walks of life such as teenagers, adolescents, seniors, housewives, and so on, who look for advice on choice of career and experienced professionals, businessmen who are looking for a change in career. A career counselor has a professional background in vocational psychology or organizational psychology. In addition, the approach of a career counselor might depend on the client and their concerned field. Intellectual ability and personal assessment are the two most common evaluation techniques used by a career counselor.

Basically, a career counselor is a person who helps you reach a destination in a systematic way by exploring all the career options available. His primary duty is to emphasize on your strengths and give you a wide array of options to choose from. He is a person that will support you in making the right choice. Making the right decision on the choice of career is crucial if one wants to be successful in life. Based on your preferences and available resources, a career counselor will formulate a perfect strategy to achieve education milestones. Later on, they can also assist you in getting a good job after the completion of an educational course.

Without proper guidance it is very difficult to accomplish your goals. A person might wander about in life without any destination in the absence of a career counselor. However, a career counselor should be very careful in giving career guidance. He has to be reliable, conscientious, unbiased and not a money minded person who would misguide people just to yank money.

How does leadership training help you in career

www.edugroomers.com

Leadership training is turning out to be a major asset in today’s highly competitive world. As the global economy continues to remain unstable and poses an unemployment threat, leadership training is a way of rising above the competition. It is a method of proving that a leader can make a huge difference to the company. No organization in the world can achieve its goals under a weak leadership.

Leadership training is not just limited to high profile business professionals. An employee working in an organization also requires leadership skills. An important lesson of leadership is followership, which implies the ability to identify a good leader and follow him. Over the course of time, as you attain experience at work, your company might give you team projects. In order to successfully complete a project it is essential to manage your team besides presenting cutting edge ideas for enhancing business prospects. This is where leadership training comes in handy.

On the other hand, communication skills are also an important part of leadership training. A leader, who is incapable of sharing his innovative ideas and connecting his ideas and vision with others, is ineffective. Facilitation skills also hold a key position in leadership training. Although, it might be a little difficult to practice, with cooperative members you can attain this with relatively great ease.

Understanding and respecting people for their values and principles and bringing out the best in them at work, is the true litmus test for a good leader. A strong leader will lead and navigate his team to achieve a higher purpose and in the process, will allow others to grow. As a result, a good leader is always preferred for the posts of CXOs to lead the company to growth. Starting early in age to learn leadership qualities definitely helps you boost your career, since leadership qualities can be developed and are not an innate quality from birth.
