I love the 3 Stage Model of Helping:
1. Exploration 2. Insight and 3. Action.
One of the key main components emphasizes LISTENING before jumping to Action or Conclusions. A Career Helper's interpersonal and communication skills are extremely important. Our initial goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of our helpees stories while simultaneously building rapport and trust. We cannot rush the process or through the steps. We must spend sufficient time in each step.
