Frequently Asked Questions | Career Velocity
Empowering Your Career Journey
Choosing the right coach is an important step in your personal and professional growth.
At Career Velocity, we understand that every career path is unique — and it’s natural to have questions before you begin.
This page is here to help you understand what coaching involves, how it works, and how it can support your goals in leadership, career transition, or professional development.
If your question isn’t answered here, we’d love to hear from you. Simply get in touch or book a complimentary discovery call to learn more.
-
Coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused process that helps you clarify your goals, overcome challenges, and create meaningful change.
Unlike mentoring or consulting, coaching doesn’t tell you what to do — it helps you uncover your own solutions through guided reflection, insight, and accountability.
At Career Velocity, our coaching approach blends empathy, structure, and results. We support professionals, leaders, and individuals navigating change to gain clarity, confidence, and momentum — both personally and professionally.
-
Even the most capable professionals benefit from having a coach. A skilled coach brings structure, challenge, and perspective — helping you identify blind spots, clarify priorities, and stay accountable.
You might seek career coaching or leadership coaching if you:
Feel uncertain about your next career move or transition
Are stepping into a new leadership or management role
Want to strengthen your confidence, communication, or impact
Are navigating redundancy or organisational change
Simply want to grow faster and perform at your best
A coach helps you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be — unlocking your full potential along the way.
-
Every coaching partnership begins with a discovery session to explore your goals, current situation, and what success looks like for you. From there, we design a tailored coaching plan to suit your objectives and schedule.
A typical coaching engagement includes:
Initial session: Clarify your focus areas and desired outcomes
Ongoing sessions: 45–60 minutes, usually fortnightly or monthly
Between-session support: Tools, reflections, and accountability check-ins
Progress review: Measure outcomes and celebrate achievements
Coaching sessions are available online, by phone, or in person — wherever you are in your career journey.
-
While these approaches share similarities, they serve different purposes:
Mentoring involves advice from someone with experience in your field.
Therapy focuses on healing or processing past experiences.
Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented — helping you set goals, make decisions, and create change.
At Career Velocity, we believe coaching is a partnership. You bring your expertise and aspirations; we bring structure, challenge, and support to help you move forward.
-
The duration of your coaching journey depends on your goals. Some clients achieve meaningful outcomes within three focused sessions, while others prefer ongoing coaching for deeper transformation.
We’ll discuss your needs during your discovery call and design a structure that aligns with your timeframe, goals, and growth pace.
-
Yes — confidentiality is at the heart of effective coaching. Everything shared during sessions is private and handled with complete discretion.
If your coaching is sponsored by your employer, we’ll agree upfront on what progress updates are shared (if any). These are always focused on outcomes, not personal details.
-

Clarity about career direction or purpose
