Our Approach

At Big Apple Coaching, we believe meaningful career growth starts with understanding — of yourself, your goals, and what drives you. Our process is built on a simple but powerful framework designed to help you reflect deeply, plan strategically, and move forward with confidence.

Clarity

Discover what's true to you.

Purpose

Align your work with your values.

Momentum

Turn insight into action.

Clarity.

Before setting goals or making changes, we take time to explore what matters most — your strengths, values, interests, and the experiences that have shaped your path so far.

Through guided dialogue and evidence-based tools, you’ll gain insight into your professional identity and the themes that define your work story.

This foundation allows you to make informed, intentional decisions about what’s next — not just what’s available.

Purpose

Once you know where you stand, we focus on where you want to go — and why.

Purpose is about connection: aligning your professional choices with what you care about most. This phase involves visioning, goal-setting, and mapping realistic next steps.

Together, we’ll design strategies that bring your career into alignment with your core values, personal mission, and life circumstances.

Momentum

Insight without action doesn’t create change. Momentum is where reflection becomes reality.In this stage, we focus on action planning, accountability, and skill development.

You’ll leave each session with clear next steps and the structure to keep moving forward — whether that means preparing for a new role, building confidence in leadership, or redefining success on your own terms.

Our Methods

Big Apple Coaching’s approach draws on decades of research in human resource development, positive psychology, and adult learning theory — combined with practical experience supporting professionals across industries. We use tools and frameworks from:

Human Resource Development (HRD) — linking personal growth to organizational learning
Career Development Theory — including life-span and strengths-based models
Positive Psychology — focusing on strengths, resilience, and well-being
Dialogic Coaching — creating a reflective, collaborative conversation that leads to insight and action

What to Expect

Each coaching partnership begins with a Discovery Session — a conversation to explore your goals, challenges, and hopes for change. From there, we co-create a coaching plan that fits your needs, timeline, and budget.

You can expect:

Thoughtful reflection — guided questions that uncover insight
Structured sessions — each with a purpose and clear takeaway
Actionable steps — tools, frameworks, and plans for continued progress
Ongoing support — accountability and feedback between sessions

Why It Works

Our process works because it balances reflection and action. It’s not about generic advice or quick fixes — it’s about helping you connect the dots between who you are, what you value, and the work that fulfills you.

Real change doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by design.
