Alex's commendable personalised approach involved understanding my aspirations, strengths, and areas for development. This tailored strategy created a roadmap for my professional journey, addressing aspects like resume refinement, elevator pitch perfection, and interview preparation. Alex's unwavering attention to detail and commitment to my success make him highly recommended for any  graduate seeking guidance.

"Alex doesn't just provide direct solutions to immediate problems; he takes a different and more profound approach. He doesn't just hand over the answers to immediate headaches; instead, he guides them in understanding how to approach and deal with complex situations in the long term. 

Through Alex's guidance, individuals learn not only how to tackle work-related challenges but also how to navigate social relationships with colleagues. Alex emphasizes the importance of long-term strategies and personal growth, which has a lasting impact on overall development. Working with Alex has been an eye-opening experience. While I don’t have an immediate need for promotion or changing industries, I saw his coaching vital in taking me to where I want to be in 5 years, and get there in 2 years."

Mining and Technology Sector

“Navigating through BHP hasn’t been easy for me. I chose Alex because of the great reputation he has creating great team culture as a leader. Alex challenged me to think outside the box, do an internal transfer to an area I have never been before, which opened my eyes to how my skills were valuable in another division.I have been encouraged to think out of the box, building the level of confidence within an uncomfortable environment when I stepped into a leadership role; setting the tone, self-leadership and expressing one’s thoughts. One of the biggest changes for me was developing critical thinking and ability to see the big picture from different lens. It has helped me promote into roles with a more tactical and strategic role in Technology. Thank you for creating a pathway of professional learning and believing in me, you’ve been amazing to work!”

FAQ

How long does the coaching process take?

The career coaching program is designed to meet your objective by your desired timeframe, although it is common for these to be 2 weeks or 1 month depending on the bandwidth and spare time you have to work on your objectives. For example, we have clients that want to achieve a goal of landing an entry level role in a new sector within 3 months, or some have a goal to promote into a leadership role within 9 months and we will recommend a frequency accordingly to meet these goals.

What If I Only Want Coaching In One Or Two Specific Topics And Not Need The Whole Package?

The Future Mindset philosophy is focused on growth in your skills and mindset that is much more powerful than a short course or one of Q&A session. Therefore, we do not offer stand alone services like "CV editing and cover letter review" as a one off for example. Through our social media and our free newsletter, you will get tips on specific topics all the time, so we welcome you to subscribe to our newsletter as an alternative.

Can I change through coaching?

A great coach will accelerate your learning and growth through providing you the right amount of wisdom and learning at the right time, often passing on insight that takes hundreds of hours in practice to learn. While you will experience a personal change, we believe the new and beneficial qualities that you main gain in coaching were in you all along - we are simply unlocking your potential by challenging you and guiding you.

How often do we meet? Where do we meet?

Our team of high quality coaches come from different industries, professions and cities. Our home base is Brisbane, Australia - but we have coaches all around Australia and New Zealand ready to assist you in your pursuits. There are options for in-person 1:1 coaching sessions, however the majority of our sessions are done online via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Whatsapp or Wechat.

You Have A Team Of Coaches, Who Will I Get And Can I Choose?

When you join our program, you have access to all of our coaches. We make recommendations and try to match you up with a coach or multiple coaches based on a match for your background and objectives. Of course, true to our philosophy, by having multiple sessions with the same coach will amplify your growth journey and create better continuity with your journey.
