Empower or Enable? The Critical Choice for Career Practitioners

Part 2

At the heart of everything we do as Career Development Professionals is one powerful truth: engaging our clients is the key to their success. Genuine connection and meaningful engagement don’t just guide our clients—they ignite their motivation, spark their confidence, and empower them to take bold steps toward transforming their lives. And really, what could be more rewarding than that?

Description:

Many career development practitioners enter the field with a strong desire to help others. However, in our efforts to support clients, we may unknowingly enable them rather than truly empower them. This shift can make a significant difference in our clients' ability to take ownership of their career paths and build long-term success.

Learning Outcomes

To recognize the difference between enabling and empowering
To gain clarity on how enabling fosters dependency while empowerment builds confidence and independence
To develop coaching strategies that promote client ownership
To learn effective questioning techniques and goal-setting methods that encourage clients to take responsibility for their career growth
To ensure that clients don’t just secure
