This Masterclass is for you if ...

  •  You have clients who present contradictory and opposite goals
  • You have clients who have a vague sense of what they mean by ‘meaning’ or ‘purpose’ and need clarification
  • You have clients who talk about finding meaningful work but become distracted by the need for certain pay levels
  • You have clients who have a vague sense of what motivates them and don’t know how that embeds in real roles
  • You’re working with clients who talk the language of values, meaning, even ‘calling’ but are unsure how to commit
  • You have clients who treat meaningful work as a fantasy option, and gravitate towards what they see as ‘realistic’ opportunities

You'll leave the Masterclass with...

  • Practical tools to help your clients really explore what they consider to be ‘meaningful’ work, in tangible terms with real examples
  • An understanding of ways you can help your clients rethink mental blocks around ‘ideal world’ and ‘realistic’ outcomes
  • An understanding of ways you can help your clients be more confident about active research into more meaningful choices
  • Two new powerful and practical tools – Finding Meaning in Work and Balancing Real and Ideal
  • Recontracting techniques to revisit clients’ initial stated needs and goals
  • Greater confidence for yourself as a coach encouraging your clients to work with conflicting options

Questions?
How is the Masterclass delivered?

The Masterclass will take place on Zoom Meeting. In order to get the most out of the masterclass, you'll need an internet-connected computer / laptop, tablet or mobile device with a microphone and camera.

What’s the format of the masterclass?

The Masterclass will be a mix of instruction from our Masterclass expert, interactive exercises practising using the new tools and an interactive Q&A session.

I’m not free on the day / at the time of the Masterclass. Can I still take part?

Unfortunately not. Much of the value of the Masterclass will come from interactively practising the new tools in small groups, and this needs to be done live.

Will you be sharing a recording of the Masterclass?

Yes, we will be sharing a recording of the session with the participants.

Will I be able to ask questions to the speakers?

Yes, there will be time throughout the session and towards the end to ask questions.

What equipment will I need to take part?

You'll need an internet-connected computer / laptop, tablet or mobile device with sound.

What will I need to prepare ahead of the Masterclass?

If you have time, it would benefit you to review the exercises and coach guidance for each exercise, which we’ll send you ahead of the Masterclass.

Do I need to be a coach to take part in the masterclass?

Yes, though it’s fine if you’re right at the start of your coaching journey. Some basic knowledge of coaching skills will be important.

I’m already a Firework licensed career coach. Will I learn anything new in the Masterclass?

Yes. The content of this Masterclass, including the two tools, is brand new and not part of the Firework Programme.

Is the masterclass discounted for Firework coaches?

Yes. If you are a Firework licensed coach, you will have received an email about this. If you haven’t please contact us on [email protected].
