Vanessa Astrop
Life & Career Coaching
As an Integral life and career coach, I help teens and adults find their future focus and career direction through a holistic, two-pronged approach comprising self-discovery and self-development.
For teens, I have created an EQ-based career-coaching programme to help school and university leavers choose a career that is based on WHO they are, WHERE they want to be, WHAT motivates them at an intrinsic level and WHY that makes them do the things they do. The programme also sets out to provide a developmental blueprint of HOW they can best achieve personal success, no matter what career path they choose.
For adults, I help equip them for the transition from one career, life role or life stage to another. And to find their purpose through a process of self-exploration and awareness of who they are, what drives them, and what their gifts and strengths are, so they can make decisions that are in line with their values in order to gain personal fulfilment in their next phase of life or career.
Change starts with you.
Take one small step towards breaking free of the negative cycle you are in by scheduling a free 30-minute exploration session with me.
MY CLIENTS
TEENS
This generation of teens needs more than knowledge, good results and a range of options to make them future-ready as they leave school and university. They need to be armoured up mentally and emotionally in order to support themselves in the absence of the normal support systems – family, peers, sport/interests and social lives. I use a process of self-discovery and development to help them make career and life choices that are motivated by and for the right reasons. They also learn how to act in their best interests, both at work and at home.
ADULTS
Adults are increasingly looking to change their lives as life changes around them. It may be a stage, age, career or status change, but finding personal purpose and meaning is usually driving the search mid-career or mid-life. This is exciting in theory, but it means stepping out of a well-worn comfort zone with no signposts showing the way. I help them rediscover who they are without their roles and expectations, and what a meaningful life means to them so they can make the changes necessary to create a fulfilling future.
