Making a career choice is the most life-altering decision for a student. They are so young when they must make a career choice. They are yet to experience life, learn the consequences of their decisions, understand their personalities, have an insight on their aptitude etc. They need to be understood, they need a professional who can help them understand themselves better. They need to be mentored at understanding their strengths and weaknesses. They need a professional who could understand their fears, hopes and dreams; and build a bridge that brings them closer to their dreams and distance them from their self-doubts and hesitations. They need a professional that helps them navigate their way to the right career. They need help at discovering their hidden personality traits, their true likes and dislikes, their aptitude and all this without judgement or a bias opinion.
Let’s not allow our children to make such an important decision of their lives based on the opinions of what others are doing, a profession that they hold a misconception about, A profession that they think is glamourous, A profession that they don’t understand about. Let’s not simply “tell” our children what we as parents think is right for them, before getting an evaluation on personality and aptitude done by a professional. Let’s not tell our children that they are free to choose “what-ever they feel” is right for them, because they are too young to know what is right for them. Let’s help the children make holistic and informed decision regarding their careers.
I often say this in many of my workshops for parents and students that a career is a life-time decision, let’s make it right. It’s not that a U-turn can not be made if one is unhappy at a career at some point in life but making the right career choice when children are young would only save them from putting in hard-work, toil, sweat that would not yield them any fruits in the future. It would save them many years of their lives. Making an informed career decision would ensure your hard-earned money is being put in a career and education that would bring out the best potential of your child.
This is where career counselling services in Andheri, Mumbai would help. As a professional counsellor and a professor for various colleges in Mumbai, I truly care for every child and the concerns of the parents that approach me. Having worked with so many children in schools and colleges, I not only understand children, I also hold a plethora of insights on their personalities, behaviours, their fears as well as their thought processes. I understand how children fall for wrong career choices and later regret. I not only understand the concerns of worried parents, but truly emphasize with them.
How can the career counselling services be of help?
I often tell parents that a career counselling session is not just about taking the child’s aptitude or personality tests, and then conducting a session with the parents and the child on the results that I have derived out of the tests I have conducted with the child. My sessions are much more than that.
I begin with
- Gaining insights on the child’s personality, character, ambitions, fears, concerns, emotional and mental blocks.
- I conduct “customized” behaviour and personality investigating activities with the child, when I am constantly observing and analyzing the child.
- Aptitude testing is conducted which I ensure I give my personal attention to.
- Personality testing is conducted, where I ensure the child in concern receives my personal observation and care.
- A session with parents and the child his conducted. I discuss the results, and help the child understand his results and address concerns of parents.
My aim through-out my sessions be it my Personal or Career Counselling sessions or my ‘Signature’ Personality development and transformation workshops is Quality and not Quantity. Every person that chooses to place their trust in my Career Counselling Sessions, Personal Counselling Sessions and My ‘Signature’ Personality development and Transformation workshop is assured of focused, quality and genuine Attention and Help.
