About FutureCourse
We recognize that work is hard. And, leadership is even harder. Like sport, work takes self-belief, discipline and personal drive to build success, and then keep improving. At FutureCourse, we are inspired by the tenacity and commitment to high achievement. We are inspired by elite athletes. That inspiration, coupled with a strong focus on actionable research, is the fuel behind Career Fitness Coaching.®
Career Science® Drives Career Fitness
Career Science is the systematic study of career performance through analysis and observation, including the comprehensive review of reliable research to inform best practices for workplace performance. Thus, Career Science is applying the predictive power of research to inform and build distinguishing behaviors for lasting career effectiveness.
Across Boundaries
Just like exercise science is not sport specific, Career Science is not content or industry specific. It works on the underpinnings that drive timeless excellence across career roles. Across most roles and industries, brainpower and competency flourish through confidence, organizational acumen, relationship sustainability and emotional intelligence. Great work gets done through relationships and collaboration, despite hierarchy, politics, conflict, etc. Great work takes discipline, agility, advocacy, presence, reflection, and more. Career Science is the study of workplace context and challenges, that when met effectively, will lead to more successful outcomes.
Career Fitness®
We view Career Science as our informed context, relying on research to build awareness and set direction for work improvements with practical impact. Our coaches teach and foster best practices to help clients overcome typical challenges by understanding the impact to self, to others and to business outcomes. Like personal training, this is targeted, action-focused coaching that integrates best practices to overcome typical career challenges and optimize performance.
