Career Coaching Empower Hour

 
During this time, attendees are invited to bring a career-related question or challenge and receive focused 1:1 coaching (approximately 10 minutes per person). This also creates a collective learning environment where all attendees benefit from listening, asking and reflecting. Your participation and anything you share will stay completely confidential, and we won’t be recording this session. Think of it as a trusted circle where you can bring a question or challenge – no pressure, no judgment, just guidance.
 
Purpose
To provide a dynamic, supportive and solution-focused safe space where members can access laser career coaching and gain insights into real-time career challenges.
 
What Is It and Who Is It For?
A live monthly virtual group coaching hour for PayTech Women members of all career levels.

As part of the PayTech Women Career Coaches team, our mission is to empower members at every stage of their journey by providing tools, clarity and confidence to own their next career step.

Career coaching is a powerful investment. When women take time to reflect, ask questions and explore new perspectives, they accelerate their growth. Whether it’s moving into leadership, navigating a transition or refining one’s voice at the executive table, a coaching conversation can spark clarity and action.

Core Promise
Real-time, focused coaching that helps members gain clarity, take action and feel more confident navigating their careers.

Hosted by PayTech Women Career Coaches, this space ensures every member feels supported, heard and uplifted, whether they ask a question or simply attend.

Member Expectations
All members attending the session agree that by participating and asking a question, they consent to being coached in a group setting. These are confidential, judgment-free spaces that model what’s possible with coaching.

How Do I Know if These Sessions Are For Me / Not For Me?
This is for you if you’re ready to ask bold questions, take a step forward or simply listen and learn.

This is not for you if you’re looking for deep-dive, long-term coaching in one session – this is a space for quick clarity and powerful insights.

Note: We have an exclusive offer where members can have a 20-minute Complimentary Call with any PTW Coach! Click here to book a coaching session.

  • Obtain Career Clarity: Uncover what’s next or what’s in your way
  • Gain Confidence: Discover how to show up with presence and ownership
  • Get Connected: Be part of a safe space where you can grow and learn with a community
