Assess your strengths, abilities, and desires.
Evaluate your position and how to progress.
Look at work you can succeed in, work you’ll love.
Are you facing work challenges?
Are you blocked in your career?
Are you in a role that no longer suits you?
Have you ‘drifted’ into something and just dream of doing something else?
Are you looking for a new career?
Have you recently been made redundant?
You will use specific tools to explore yourself and your current situation, and go on to look at your options or your dreams for the future. You will be empowered and helped to come up with your own creative solutions.

Tools
I first received coaching from a great coach who used Harrison tools.
This had a massive impact on me and changed my life.
I loved it so much, I got trained up as a coach and now use the tools myself.
Harrison measures unique behaviours, interests, and preferences.
The two main Harrison approaches
1. Find out what we’re good at and what we love – and then do it!
This makes us happy, and we continuously improve - it’s a positive cycle. The trick is to get a clear picture of what you’re good at, and what you’ll love. Then, you can make this choice!
2. Bring our strengths into balance
By assessing your own unique range of traits, you will see clearly:
which top strengths you have, and how you could best use them
how your traits can be in balance, e.g. being organised can be balanced with being flexible.
Doing the Harrison self-assessments can give you two reports:
1. Career Development Report – this focuses on your top tasks, interests and working environments, what motivates you most, and the best ways that you interact and make decisions.
2. Career Options Report – this takes all your assessed strengths from the first report and matches them to a range of careers that you’d be good at, and you’d love.
These reports are enlightening, showing your unique strengths, areas of balance and your blind spots.
All of this comes from a simple 30-minute online self-assessment.
(Note: There is a fee payable for these reports.)
