Testimonials

Career assistance needs grow dramatically as public resources are flat at best. CACREP career graduate programs grow fewer. The boutique industry of career coaching seeks quality credentials to attract clients and attest to better outcomes. Like clients in a disrupted workplace ask “what’s next”, new and seasoned career specialists asked NCDA for a simple and clear navigation tool about the “career coaching” movement. NCDA delivered, and Heather Maietta’s Career Coaching is what my students, staff and trainees will use! Career Coaching: Fundamentals, Applications, and Future Directions is both a compass and telescope. Heather’s expert lens, deep lessons from history, sharp awareness of client needs, honest assessment of program trends, and clarity about interventions is what I’ve searched for and now found! Translating ever-expanding literature, and wide scan of futuristic tools and models, she’s created the most compact, easy-to-use roadmap about where career coaches are headed, what they can deliver, and how they can expand reach and impact. Far beyond the hype, her insights are priceless, and you’ll find the same value in applying this to your daily work.

Heather Maietta has created an essential overview of career coaching that will benefit new and experienced coaches alike. The well-rounded discussion of the profession, complete with an overview of key theories, tools, and considerations for practicing career coaching, fills a long-standing void of knowledge for aspiring and new career coaches. Of particular interest to this audience are the presentation of general coaching models, ethics discussion, practical samples, and guidance on selecting and interpreting assessments. Additionally, established coaches will appreciate the historical perspective on the evolution of career coaching within the larger vocational psychology, counseling, and career development fields along with the chapter on approaches to group career coaching. I would have loved to have found this resource when I was considering entering the field over 20 years ago!
