According to LinkedIn's 2023 Workplace Learning Report, a staggering 94% of employees feel the need to continuously learn and adapt to thrive in their careers. This underscores the critical importance of proactive measures to mitigate job insecurity.

Business coaching is a powerful tool to deal with these challenges and enhance job security. By providing personalized guidance and support, business coaches help individuals develop the needed skills, mindset, and strategies.

A Harvard Business Review study found that employees with access to coaching are 87% more likely to achieve their goals. Coaches can identify skill gaps and create tailored development plans to enhance employability. By acquiring new skills and competencies, individuals become more adaptable and valuable to employers.

A clear career path is essential for job security. Coaches can assist in defining career goals and creating a roadmap to achieve them. 

LinkedIn data reveals that professionals with clear career paths are 30% more likely to be satisfied with their jobs.

Coaches offer mentorship and support, providing guidance on navigating organizational changes, building relationships, and overcoming challenges. 

A recent LinkedIn survey reported that 72% of employees believe mentorship is crucial for career advancement.

Through coaching, individuals can develop resilience, the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to change. 

A study published in the Journal of Management found that resilient employees are less likely to experience job insecurity.

Coaches help individuals understand their strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations. This self-awareness empowers them to make informed career decisions. 

LinkedIn data shows that employees with strong self-awareness are more likely to secure promotions and higher salaries.


A Gallup study found that engaged employees are 43% less likely to leave their jobs.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
