Once you have A Career in Your Suitcase in your toolkit as a career coach or trainer, you have a proven resource to support others to learn to ‘reinvent’ themselves and find their way forward in their lives and careers within a community of support.

Our tools  free you up to do more of what you love – supporting your clients.

What we believe
We believe:

  • A Career in Your Suitcase is the unique balance of paid and unpaid work and personal life roles, including work, learning and leisure activities that you take with you and adapt from one location to another. It can take various forms including a series of projects or portfolios.
  • Careers unfold over time and are revealed over time.
  • There is no such thing as a wrong career choice.
  • A career crisis is really a crisis of imagination; the inability to imagine a situation/career other than the one you are currently in.
  • The key to creating a portable career is being able to look inside to what is important to you, what you can do and then looking outside to your current situation to find the opportunities that work for your lifestyle, and this time and place in your career.
  • Careers are created in collaboration and dialogue with our global and local networks.
  • A willingness to engage wherever you find yourself, an attitude of openness to exploration and unexpected opportunity, the ability to step into the ‘unknown’ and find your way and the ability to adapt to new information and situations are essential to a successful Career in Your Suitcase.
  • The Career in Your Suitcase Way is ongoing – it will continue as long as you continue to grow and develop and move over the course of your life. That’s why the skills needed to develop a Career in Your Suitcase are life skills in this age of global mobility, rapid changes in the labour market and economy, and technology. They enable you to work from almost anywhere in the world on your own terms.

If you as a coach or career trainer also believe this, then the Career in Your Suitcase Way is a tool that will compliment your approach.
