Why Choose a Career Coach?

Tired of seeing others promoted ahead of you? 

Feeling stuck where you are and unsure how to move on? 

Do you feel as though something is missing in your workplace? 

If yes, career coaching could be the answer you’re looking for!

You can do this and more without having to settle for less.

How Sue has helped leaders like you 

“Sue is incredibly insightful and within a short period of time, has been able to help me see my strengths and opportunities for growth.  I have appreciated her wise counsel and ability to help me re-frame challenges.

Working with Sue has given me a different way to think about challenges and has given me tools for being able to express myself with greater confidence.  Through this process I have gained a greater insight into what is important to me, and how I can better align my actions and purpose.  I’ve also gained a much better understanding of what triggers me and how I can avoid unhelpful behaviours.  

At first the idea of executive coaching was a bit intimidating for me.  Now that I’ve been through this process, I really see that it is an incredible investment in yourself.  I have gained so much more out of this than I expected.  I had hoped to increase my leadership capacity and my confidence – and it has – but I’ve also gained some valuable insights into what is important to me as a person, helping me to manage relationships both at work and in my personal life.”

~ Kate Speare (Infrastructure Funding Policy Director NSW Department Planning, Industry & Environment)

“Thank you. You have an open-hearted graciousness and a huge depth of skill. Spiritual Intelligence meets EQ and IQ. Thank you for your own journey. Your many ‘yes’s in your own life have crafted a skilled, authentic teacher. I really loved your translation of ‘esoteric’ principles into practical realities. It has been a pleasure to meet and learn from you.”

~ Mary Dwyer (Director Impact Solutions International)

“Sue’s knowledge, wisdom and compassion make her a very valuable coach.

“Sue has been working with me for several years as my executive coach and I could not recommend her enough to anyone wishing to extend themselves and their career. Sue has the ability to challenge, stimulate and drive self-improvement whilst keeping the fun in personal enlightenment – what a great combination. The “Amazing Grace” workshop for women was another unique opportunity that has helped me understand who I am and what drives my attitudes to money, work and achievement. I truly value my learning experiences with Sue.”

~ Debbie Sharpe (Director, Strategic Operations & Change Realisation at WSLHD)

“Sue and I have had the opportunity to engage on a range of occasions, most notably over 2019 where I had the privilege of working with Sue as a mentor. Asthma Australia Ltd was formed in October 2017, the merger of several Asthma Foundations across QLD, NSW, Victoria, ACT and SA with the former Asthma Australia Inc. I was delighted to have been offered the opportunity by the Board to lead the amalgamation and realise the potential of a single, larger organisation.

Sue has provided invaluable support, insights, and encouragement during the time we have been working together. She is a consummate professional, intelligent, well networked, and importantly balanced. She sets an excellent example for women in leadership.”

Sue helped me strategize how to move forward a project that had to travel the winding path of corporate politics.  She helped me break down into easy steps which level of the organization to start with and how to gather data to help me move this project forward so it could actually happen.   This project included 9 leaders with revenue in excess of 45,000. Thank you, thank you.  Words cannot express my gratitude.”

~ Quenby Ruben-Sprague (M.H.R.O.D., R.D. President and CEO, Healthcare Corporate Coaching Specialist.)

I love, love, love working with Sue.”

Are career coaches the same as career counsellors?

A career coach is not a counsellor. 

A career coach cannot do the hard work of change for you. 

A career coach is not a recruitment officer and cannot guarantee you will get a job or ace an interview. Be wary if a career coach says they can guarantee you will get a job. 

As a career coach, Sue can offer you personalized insights on how you can move forward with your career. What you do with that advice is up to you. We want you to walk away from our services feeling empowered to make necessary changes and will do all we can to help you on your career path, especially during uncertain times. 

Are career coaches worth the money?

If you feel as though you are in a rut, or approaching career burn out, a career coach is invaluable. Sometimes, an external perspective is necessary to help us gain clarity and work towards our goals. 

If you’ve been recently retrenched you may have initially felt high as a kite about your prospects. Over time that excitement fizzles and you find yourself overwhelmed and unsure of the path forward. 

Gain access to a wealth of experience, insight and personally tailored guidance to help you on your career journey. Invest in yourself and your career by working directly with Sue. 

Does career coaching really work? Should I hire a career coach?

You get out what you put in. Our career coaching service is best suits to executives and managers who have been in the workforce for some time, and are feeling dissatisfied with their current situation. 

If you’re a fresh graduate, career counselling may be more appropriate for you but that’s not what we offer. This involves using a range of personality tests to help you decide what career to begin approaching. 

For executives and managers, our career coaching service does sometimes use personality tests, but these are administered on a personalised level. They can be helpful for gaining a broader picture of you, your history, your unique talents and your circumstances.

What makes a great career coach?

A great career coach should have experience in leadership within the workplace. If they are going to coach executives and managers on career decisions, it’s important they know how it feels to walk in their clients’ shoes.

Sue Tsigaros has been a leader in several organisations. She has experienced the transitions of these organisations and the challenges they bring up.

This first-hand knowledge helps her to understand the context you are in and the pressures you face. You can be assured that Sue will understand your struggles of making the right career decisions and particularly of being a leader within the workplace. 

What are the benefits of career coaching?

Career coaching enables you to be empowered beyond your workplace. This isn’t just about language or mindset, but about making concrete changes that impact your career and how fulfilled you feel.

You are amazing, you deserve to feel respected in the workplace. When you embody the changes we may suggest, you will be able to lead a more productive and efficient career. 

What is the difference between a life coach and a career coach?

Life coaches offer advice and insight for goals across life, whereas career coaches are focused in particular on your career.

While there is always some overlap across areas of life, a career coach is a specialist in empowering you within your workplace and on your career trajectory. 

How do I prepare for career coaching?

Begin thinking about what you want to get out of your career. Be prepared to put into practice the principles you learn. It won’t always be easy, but it will be valuable. 

How do I find a career I love?

Your career coach will be able to help you figure out your career purpose. Sue is trained in recognising the strengths of individuals and helping them determine the best career path forward.
