Each professional development specialist uses different methods to work effectively with clients. In my work, I have an integrated approach that produces excellent results, and I believe in its effectiveness. So…

1. Acceptance, understanding and use of the received experience of the client to determine a specific professional direction (project), which helps the client to more easily psychologically accept possible changes.
2. As a result, the professional project is a roadmap (route map), which contains specific actions and stages, checkpoints (from point A to point B), deadlines and personal responsibility, that helps to really see the target – the ultimate goal and the desired result.
3. The ability to look at yourself from the outside, talking out loud and sharing insight and not being afraid to face criticism or resistance – this accelerates the process of positive change and increases motivation.
4. Comprehensive vocational guidance takes into account both the specifics of the labor market and the psychological features of the person and the interests of all stakeholders in order to achieve the maximum positive effect from the implementation of a professional project.
5. It is possible to define several equal plans A,B,B in professional development, which gives more freedom of choice and options for development.
6. The use of risk-oriented thinking helps the client to identify and assess possible risks that he may face and thus possibly protect himself.
7. Comprehensive career counselling has not only short-term but also long-term effects, because the applied methods and analysis of professional and personal characteristics of the client help to relate to changes in the external environment and to better manage their activities.
8. The use of a more flexible approach allows immediate response to changing customer requests (unexpected insight, change in need or personal behavior) in the process of its analysis, evaluation and development of desired result.
9. Communication as a «partner-partner» helps to build a more trusting and respectful relationship and to value the client as a professional expert in his field.
10. Comprehensive professional development counselling helps the client to make his own decision and to make that choice, which in his opinion is the best for him at the moment and at the same time to realize that it is his responsibility, which makes the client as mature person and expert.

An integrated approach is the time and efforts of both the client and the expert in professional development, so it is a huge scale work, the results of which you will use for a long time.
