Career development and Coaching Studies furthered my passion

"The course apart from providing me with the opportunity to expand into the understanding of how individuals perceive careers and thus offer better career and executive career coaching services to students and business executives, it made me further focus in business coaching and management by coaching and provided the opportunity to expand my knowledge by pursuing a PhD in the field of Management by coaching."
