A New Lens on Career Coaching: Work, Purpose & What Really Matters

Career coaching today goes far beyond résumés and job searches. In a world of shifting industries, blurred work-life boundaries, and rising burnout, clients aren’t just asking what job they want, they’re asking why they work at all? Is this all there is? How do they find purpose in their work and life?

This workshop introduces a brand new practical, human-centered framework beyond the modules for coaching clients through career exploration, identity shifts, and work reinvention. Whether they’re stepping into their first jobs, returning after a break, seeking advancement, or simply stuck in the grind, you’ll learn how to locate where they are in their journey, and how to coach with depth, clarity, and strategic relevance.

You’ll walk away with:

• A new lens for coaching career choices, pivots, and plateaus
• The HireAbility Blueprint: a map for client motivation, stage, and strategy
• Tools to surface unspoken doubts, deeper values, and new possibilities
• Confidence to coach not just their 9–6, but their “6–9” too (A new term on work beyond one's "office" roles 😉)
• PLUS: An exclusive recorded interview with a regional HR expert, offering insider perspectives on the realities of the job market, what employers are really looking for, and how coaches can better guide clients toward viable and purpose-aligned paths.

This isn’t your typical career coaching workshop.It’s a future-ready, client-centered experience, and a rare opportunity to blend coaching mastery with real-world career insights.

What can I expect as a coach in these TruCoach™ Workshops?

Following the success of our TruCoach™ Workshops in 2024, Executive Coach International (ECI) has planned another series of coaching engagements and activities this year for the coaches that have trained with us. How do YOU differentiate yourself as a ECI-trained coach in the market of coaches out there? How do you create the impact that you intend for, for your clients? How do you inspire and create the willingness in the clients that you want to coach? Looking for different clients to clock your coaching hours to attain your ACC / PCC or even MCC and to expand your coaching repertoire? This is for you.

We have curated workshops to provide you with not only the theoretical aspects of the curriculum, we will also be bringing in clients in these events for you to learn how to network with and put the theory into practice immediately with the presence of our trainer during the workshops. And, if you are able to find a match with the client, you get to work with them for up to 3 coaching sessions. The average range of number of hours clocked from these sessions per coach is from 12 hours to a high of 52 hours and counting..As an exchange, clients can donate a token sum to our chosen charity organisation this year - Ambulance Wish Singapore.

For each ticket, it includes:

1) A pre-event online session led by Wei Ping with an assigment to prepare before the workshop, together with resources that you can use to build your own coach profiles for your own coaching business;

2) A step-by-step guide on how to identify your very own unique selling points (USP), and create a solid set-up with your clients that creates the WILLINGNESS to be coached and to commit to what they've set out to do? How do you structure your coach-client set up from day 1 so that you can find ways to continue building the relationship with your client and get you to partner them through their journey?;

3) Use this chance to build your online profile for future usage as you create your platform as a coach, and learn from fellow coaches on how they have managed to boost thier online presence. ECI will also be publishing your profiles on our page for further marketing!

4) Learn how to do a pitch to your clients based on their issues that they want to solve;

5) An in-person session with clients invited on 23rd August (Saturday) to learn how to do your client chemistry test and the administration of a coach-client contract.

6) Get feedback from REAL clients on your coach's profile

7) Get a checklist of the stages to do a proper and more inviting setup for a coaching session with an external client

8)Connect with a client during the event and work with them for up to 3 sessions outside of the event based on your arrangement with them - which means more hours and experience!

9) Build up your network with coaches and clients together

10) A facilitated debrief session after 1 month of the coach-client engagement with fellow coaches to share your learnings, challenges and questions as a completion, so as to gain XP for your growth as a coach.
