Career coaching is instrumental in helping individuals navigate job transitions, improve job-seeking strategies, and align their personal and professional aspirations. The coaching process involves exploring both self-awareness and professional challenges, depending on the client's needs.

Actors

• Sarah – An experienced career coach with a structured approach to guiding clients through career transitions. She frequently employs personality and competency tests but has struggled with managing extensive post-session documentation. Previously, she relied on manual note-taking, which often led to incomplete or forgotten insights.

• Tom – A middle manager with eight years of experience who feels stagnant in his current role. He perceives limited career growth opportunities and is unsure whether he should continue as a leader or transition into a more specialized role.

• maX – A digital coaching tool that enables session recording, structured documentation, automated analysis, and continuous engagement between coaching sessions.

‍

‍1. Integration of maX into the Coaching Process

• Sarah introduces maX to Tom, explaining that it will help them track their coaching journey by recording and summarizing their conversations.

• She invites Tom to collaborate on the platform, enabling him to revisit key takeaways, track progress, and stay engaged between sessions.

• Sarah starts the recording within maX to ensure all insights, action points, and agreements are documented for later review.

2. Identifying Career Challenges & Establishing Goals

• Tom describes his concerns regarding career stagnation and uncertain leadership aspirations.

• Sarah helps him reflect on his motivations and preferences, guiding him through a structured process:

• Self-awareness development

• Goal and motivation exploration

• Career path assessment

• Creation of an action plan with continuous support

3. Post-Session Analysis & Structured Insights with maX

• After the session, Sarah uses maX to generate an automated session summary, consolidating their discussion, agreed-upon goals, and next steps.

• Tom later reviews the summary and realizes that, despite finding the session valuable, he had forgotten several key points due to his busy schedule.

• The ability to track his progress in maX helps him stay accountable, reinforcing his commitment to the process.

4. Assessments & AI-Driven Analysis in maX

• Sarah assigns two assessments within maX:

• DISC personality test

• Leadership quality analysis

• After Tom completes the assessments, Sarah reviews the AI-generated insights, revealing a misalignment between Tom’s perceived strengths and his actual competency scores.

• The analysis highlights a lower-than-expected score in leadership qualities, challenging Tom’s self-perception and prompting further reflection.

5. Uncovering New Career Insights

• In the next session, Sarah and Tom analyze the assessment results within maX, which reveal that:

• Tom’s creativity is underutilized in his current role.

• He prefers functional tasks over people management, suggesting leadership might not be his ideal path.

• His lower leadership quality score suggests a potential confidence barrier rather than a skills gap.

• With these insights, Tom realizes that a specialist role aligns better with his strengths and career aspirations, helping him confidently decide on his next career move.

6. Continuous Engagement & Decision-Making Support

• Tom actively engages with the copilot feature in maX between sessions, allowing for ongoing reflection instead of waiting for the next meeting.

• Sarah finds maX invaluable in structuring her coaching process, as it automates documentation, accelerates insight discovery, and provides data-driven support for career decisions.

• The structured approach enhances Tom’s clarity and commitment, enabling a smooth transition into a career path that better aligns with his strengths.  

By integrating maX into her coaching process, Sarah streamlined documentation, improved insight discovery, and enhanced client engagement. The tool allowed real-time progress tracking, structured assessments, and AI-driven analysis, resulting in a more efficient and impactful coaching experience. Tom, in turn, gained deeper clarity on his career path and transitioned toward a role that better matched his skills and motivations.
