Abstract

This chapter outlines a meta-view of career coaching as a framework for the coaching engagement and utilization of theories, models, and tools. Coaching conversations are often referred to as a “dance” between coach and client. The career landscape in the 21st century has undergone a significant shift away from the traditional linear path of “climbing the ladder” at a single employer or within a single career path toward increasing mobility and career switching. A useful framework for career coaching is the meta-view, Adaptability Development and Authentic Purpose Targeted (ADAPT) career coaching. The chapter attempts to add more substance to the framework by providing sub-categories under the micro and macro perspectives that include a combination of tools, perspectives, and proposed best practices to support career coaches in their exploration with clients rather than to create content that could be passed on directly to clients.
