A Coaching Model By Darshini Santhanam
Personal Coach, UNITED KINGDOM
The ORCHID model can support clients in finding a career that fits their interests, values, and ambitions. I used this strategy with a volunteer client in the tech sector who was looking for guidance in their career. I discovered that the ORCHID model can serve as a helpful foundation for assisting a mid-career IT worker with the process of career growth and goal-setting. We broke up the model’s exploration into six separate sessions. The client can get clarity on their career goals by working through each phase of the model. They can also create good habits and tactics for reaching those goals. Finally, they can regularly update their career plan to ensure continued success and advancement.
