Expectations
What I found out: empirical data
Students expected an adviser to have more industry knowledge than a coach
They expected the adviser to be more directive
They thought the coaching session would be more valuable
My conclusions
• People like the idea of a non-directive, person-centred career conversation
• They think they are more likely to get it with a career coach
• There are plenty of good, evidence-based tools to add value to our practice
