Why Career Coaching Works, And How Our Directory Helps
A career coach is like a personal trainer, but for your professional life. They help you clarify your goals, recognize your strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a clear plan to reach your career aspirations.
At Nuumani, we believe everyone should have access to this kind of support, and thanks to technology, all you really need is an internet connection. Coaching can happen anywhere and anytime, fitting into your busy life without added stress.
The impact of career coaching is clear. For example, a survey of UC Berkeley staff who took part in short-term, one-on-one coaching found that 85% felt it was a valuable investment of their time. That’s because a coach helps cut through the confusion and hesitation that many face when they feel stuck or uncertain about their next move.
Working with a coach means getting personalized support that is unique to your strengths, interests, and values. They help you set realistic and actionable goals, and keep you accountable along the way. They offer insights on everything from polishing your resume and interview skills to building a personal brand and expanding your network.
But perhaps most importantly, they help build your confidence, empowering you to take bold steps, whether that means applying for a new role, negotiating a raise, or even switching industries.
Choosing the right coach is key, and sometimes that means finding someone whose style or specialization resonates with you. For instance, Murielle Marie, Nuumani’s CEO, is a certified coach who works with creative generalists and multipassionate people, helping them get unstuck and find clarity in their careers and businesses. Then there’s Erusi, a career and leadership coach passionate about unlocking potential and supporting clients from all backgrounds, especially women from the global majority. Her coaching style is confident and conversational, always focused on her clients’ goals.
One of our founding members and career coaches is Jessica- she brings over 20 years of experience in HR and career development, specializing in personal branding and career transitions. And Aurélie, a certified transformation coach and creative consultant, combines play, creativity, and connection to foster resilience and growth, helping clients turn life’s challenges into opportunities.
Beyond simply improving career prospects, coaching can be a deeply transformative experience. It’s about learning to navigate uncertainty with resilience and tapping into strengths you might not even realize you have. It’s about shifting mindset, building habits, and developing a clearer sense of purpose in your professional life. Coaches like those at Nuumani provide not just guidance but also encouragement, helping you celebrate progress and stay motivated through setbacks.
One of the reasons to explore our coaching directory is that it brings all these talented coaches together in one easy-to-navigate place. You can choose a coach based on your interests and needs, and with our CoachMila™ app, you can enjoy personalized sessions and keep all your coaching notes organized in one convenient spot.
As always, stay happy and enjoy this September!
Your Nuumani Team!
