Create a fulfilling new career.
Design a future that suits you.

Chart the course for successful change.

You want more from your professional life than just climbing the next rung on the corporate ladder. You want to do something meaningful and make a difference: something personally important that really fulfills you.

If your thoughts are constantly revolving around the fact that something has to change, you are at a turning point. You know that you can't go on as before - but you aren't sure what direction your career should go next.

Calibrate your inner compass for decisions.

In order to make the right decisions for your future, you need a very clear vision of what you want from life - both professionally and personally. This serves as your inner compass, giving you orientation as well as the confidence and enthusiasm to follow your right path.

In coaching we together broaden your view for the big picture while sharpening your focus on your values, strengths and core competencies. Based on these you discover new opportunities for a successful and fulfilling career and design a plan for moving forward.

Momentum for career development.

Especially in midlife, changing careers costs you time and energy, causing your thoughts to circle endlessly with uncertaintly, preventing you from taking action. With coaching, you stop the carousel and direct your focus towards your goals. You gain clarity about your possibilities and can take your next steps towards a fulfilling career.

You recognize your full potential and can use it to achieve your goals.

We look into your biography and reflect on your successes and challenges in different phases of your life. In this way, you define what's next and which strengths, qualifications and experiences will help you move forward.

You move past what hinders you.

Change processes can be turbulent and frightening. Your goals may seem impossible at first: I help you to overcome conventions, binding structures and obligations so that you can move towards the future with a trailblazing spirit. You learn to assess options realistically and objectively.

Navigate change.

When you discover new avenues, everything opens up: You can rekindle your enthusiasm for your current position or tackle a completely new project, reposition yourself on the job market or set the cornerstone for entrepreneurship. I provide guidance and impulses as you try out the new.

You gain clarity and new perspectives.

In coaching we develop your personal vision for your career and your life. You find out what makes you happy and draw your map for your next career step. This gives you the orientation and confidence to shape the professional future that fits you.

You are more successful in every area of life.

Your professional and personal life are two sides of the same coin. As you gain new perspectives for your future, take action and move past inner roadblocks, you will feel happier, healthier and more satisfied overall, allowing you to more fully actualize all areas of your life.

Who's Career Coaching for?

For anyone who yearns for more in their career than just "higher, faster, further".

For those tired of the treadmill.

For anyone desiring deeply fulfilling work which also provides a sustainable income.

If that there's something else "out there" that you should be doing, but you don't know exactly what that is.

If you’re ready to get off the endless carousel of thoughts and anxieties that come from considering a career change, are ready to gain clarity and momentum forward and are prepared to take action to embrace new opportunities.

How does coaching work?

My coaching offers are designed to help you quickly gain clarity about your next career steps, identify and assess new professsional options and to take actionable steps towards realizing your goal of a new job that satisfies and fulfills you.

In a first free, no-obligation consultation (in person, by telephone or video conference) we will discuss your professional situation, your goals and the time frame for your career change.

I offer career coaching as a package solution with various options, depending on your needs and desired outcomes, as discussed in our consultation.

All coaching options include 1:1 coaching, personality and professional aptitude tests, ad-hoc support between sessions, and unlimited access to an online platform with many resources for professional and personal development.

This approach combines the benefits of individual one-on-one coaching with best-practice online tools and videos on a digital platform to help you design your new career and boldly embrace new professional opportunties.

The self-paced online content allows you to explore specific aspects of career transition on your own in preparation for our personal coaching sessions. Our one-on-one sessions focus on unpacking your deeper insights and turning these into actionable steps, providing you with powerful momentum and motivation as you move through the coaching process.

Individual coaching sessions take place via video conference (e.g. with zoom), face-to-face in Berlin, or both. 

What topics do we cover in Career Coaching?

Depending on your coaching goals, I support you as you:

  • establish your drivers for success and fulfillment in your work
  • identify new professional endeavors aligned with your core desires
  • test and evaluate new jobs and career options
  • redefine your personal brand
  • revise your cv or resume
  • apply and interview for new positions
  • prepare for self-employment or entrepreneurship
  • onboard and establish yourself in your new career.

In each phase, I provide you with imput and implementation strategies so that you can confidently navigate the change.

What is the difference between Career Coaching 
and Career Counselling?

In traditional career counselling (sometimes also called "outplacement consulting"), the focus is on helping you find a new position within your current profession or based on your vocational qualifications. A career counsellor or consultant will help you with job searches, optimize your application portfolio and prep you for job interviews.

However, if you would like to break new ground and shift directions, career counselling alone will not get you very far.

As a career coach, I support you in discovering perspectives for new professional opportunities that are different from your old job or previous qualification profile.

I accompany you on an exciting journey of self-discovery, where you uncover hidden talents and competencies, define your own life goals and set job criteria for a job that is truly in line with your values, personality and life vision. You get to know yourself better and position yourself for making an impact while creating a more fulfilling and happier future.

With my extensive experience in Human Resources Management I also provide you with lots of professional know-how on career trends, the job market, employee branding and profile optimization. My offers combine both coaching for self-discovery and best-practices for getting a new position, making me unique among coaches.

How long does a career change take?

A career shift - as opposed to changing jobs within a vocation - requires significant planning and effort and does take time.

Depending on your current employment situation and how much time, money and effort you wish to invest, you should expect the process to take several months.

That said, most of my clients are in the process of interviewing for promising new positions or have job offers by the end of our work together. Through coaching, my clients not only find fascinating new perspectives, but the are able to minimize or avoid unemployment entirely, thus saving thousands in lost net earnings and sparing them the toll on their health, relationships and well-being that comes from staying in an unfulfilling job or the lack of new career opportunities. 

How much does Career Coaching cost?

Career coaching is an investment in your future.

It pays off in the form of a new career with sustainable earning opportunities and more satisfaction in life.

Coaching packages start at 2,497 € (incl. VAT for EU residents) / US$ 3,147 (for non EU residents) and include 1:1 coaching, job-related personality tests, ad-hoc support between sessions and unlimited access to my online resource platform.

Comprehensive career coaching options are available to support you throughout the entire change process, including resume/CV revision, job search consulting, personal branding and marketing, interview preparation and simulation, as well as onboarding in your new job starting. These programs start at 3,997 € (incl. VAT for EU residents) / 4,997 US$ (for non-EU residents). 

Through career coaching you can minimize or altogether avoid unemployment during a period of reorientation. By discovering and pursuing new job opportunities effectively and efficiently with my guidance, you'll save thousands in potential lost net earnings incured by unnecessary or prolonged unemployment. You'll increase your well being and life satisfaction by finding new career opportunities which are aligned with who your truly aspire to be. Your sense of purpose and fulfillment will maintain or increase your continued earnings potential into the future and contribute to your personal and physical health and well-being.

You'll enjoy a multiple return on your investment. 

In many jurisdictions career coaching is tax-deductible expense.

"At a crucial point in my career planning, Robert helped me make my transition from a no longer fulfilling job in a public agency to a very satisfying position in a dynamic company.

“I connected with Robert when I was secure in my employment as a teacher, but interested in shifting into a new career. Although I had the passion and skills to take on this new adventure, I lacked the confidence to move forward. Over the course of several online meetings, Robert was able to hone in on my inner resources and helped me change the way I perceive things. Through this I found new courage to overcome the obstacles blocking my path. Robert also helped me understand and verbalize my role in our world. His commitment to my success and his warm and caring attitude made me comfortable and able to share with him my innermost dreams and fears. I highly recommend Robert’s coaching services.“

"Robert helped me start my career by helping me refine my professional vision and goals, identify my personal strengths, and by guiding me through the interview phase. I am almost eight months into my current job and could not be happier."

“When I signed up for coaching I was trying to decide among several potential career options and found myself struggling to make decisions. Robert helped me look inside and reconnect with my values and deeper aspirations. I was able to gain the clarity and confidence I needed to decide and commit. He also gently pushed me to keep up with my job search and to boldly say no to offers which looked good at first sight, but were not an ideal match in the long run. Now I’ve been in my new job for a few months and am really happy where I am and confident that this is the rewarding career path I’ve always wanted.”
Anna S.
former Marketing Manager, now Communications Manager in a global NGO.
“I went through Robert Knight’s career coaching program entirely and I am impressed by the system and the profound knowledge it provides, while being simultaneously of simple practicability. After completing the coaching, my only regret was that I didn’t have these tools, techniques, tips, and tricks available much earlier in life. This would have made my search for a satisfying career significantly easier and more promising.“
