One-on-one Career Coaching
One-on-one coaching can be a valuable way to enhance your performance and contribute to your personal and professional growth. It involves establishing your goals and then working towards those in a guided and supportive environment with a trusted and knowledgeable coach, Robyn Roscoe, PMP. You set the pace, tone, and objectives, and then the coach helps you to stick with your plan and get to where you want to be.
Those who are interested can submit their expression of interest to MEOPAR by Monday 26 September, 4pm Atlantic time, using this form.
Then what? MEOPAR and the coach will review all expressions of interest and advise accepted participants on Thursday 29 September.
Selected participants will then attend the coaching group session with the coach on Wednesday 05 October, 2-3pm Atlantic time, to get more details on what to expect from coaching and to establish the “ground rules” for the individual sessions. Then, one-on-one sessions will be scheduled every 2-3 weeks by mutual agreement between the coach and client, with all sessions completed by mid-December 2022.
