Why become an ICCS consultant?

Interested in becoming a licensed provider?
The ICCS is founded on the approach that every individual owns their career and that every
career is different. Therefore, it is essential to work with the entire person and the full
range of their work and life experiences. Building on these elements, the ICCS helps the
career consultant act as a facilitator in the client’s own journey of self-discovery and
purposeful action.

I have been using the ICCS since its inception, and have found it an incredibly useful tool
when working with my clients, from university graduates to senior military professionals and
retirees. I find the ICCS invaluable when working with groups of individuals, some of whom
may not feel comfortable talking about themselves in relation to their careers. It helps my
clients to step back and focus on what is important to them at work, and in their private
lives too. The reports are a great guide for delving into the detail, and my clients like
the fact that they can see not only their key motivators, values, skills etc., but reveal
previously overlooked areas they come to see as empowering, enlightening and informative.

The ICCS career development system is intuitive, creative and practical in its use, and
allows the user to develop personalized stories and interpretations of their career. This is
what makes the ICCS a powerful career tool. It enables the career owner to clarify and
develop a personal and unique meaning of career alongside practical plans. I have also found
that clients who are not naturally intuitive or creative just need encouragement to trust
the process and continue on with the initial phases. and iIn doing so, they are astounded by
the results in the final step of creating personalized action plans.

For more than 20 Years I have been coaching academics who want to achieve in their jobs, or
are unemployed and are looking for a new job. I have used all manner of theories and
technologies, and concluded that the online ICCS is one of my favorite tools - and at the
same time one of the most successful ones. To ask about my clients’ knowing-why, knowing-how
and knowing-whom helps them to find their personal answers for landing a matching job. Even
more so, the ICCS leads to the necessary steps for clients to pursue further personal
success.

I came across ICCS during my PhD studies. At the time I was quite overwhelmed - a mother of
three striving for my PhD, building my own consultancy business and trying to be a good
partner for my husband. The stepwise approach of the methodology forces you to write down
your professional life story and let it speak to you, and offered me much needed space to
gather my own thoughts. Now, after working as an ICCS coach for over four years, I continue
to enjoy seeing how my clients discover their future by having structured insight into their
past. I recommend the ICCS for everybody who is about to make a serious career decision has
just lost their motivation. The ICCS works!
