Deliberate practice exercises help trainees achieve competence in essential career counseling skills and apply them in a variety of contexts while honing their own personal style.
These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a counselor, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The counselor improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements organized into three difficulty levels-beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
Each of the first exercises focuses on a single skill, which include exploring your client's skills, values, decision-making styles, and cultural and family influences setting goals and providing feedback on career assessments and analyzing their underlying themes. Two comprehensive exercises follow in which trainees integrate these essential skills into a single session.
Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering the skills, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.
This practical guide is an essential resource for career counselors at all levels, offering clear examples and real-world scenarios to refine and enhance counseling skills. Ideal for new supervisors and instructors alike, it provides actionable strategies to support effective, impactful career counseling. - Jon Schlesinger, MEd, CCC, Executive Director, Hiatt Career Center, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA If you are puzzled by how to help students and practitioners apply their core counseling skills to career interventions, then look no further. This book provides a systematic program of activities that faculty and supervisors can use to effectively and efficiently enable practitioners to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and actually performing career counseling. - Mark L. Savickas, PhD, Professor and Chair Emeritus, Department of Behavioral Sciences, Northeast Ohio Medical University, Rootstown This text provides counseling trainees and supervisors a practical guide for developing the counseling skills to effectively work with clients who present with career-related concerns.
