Anyone have a life coach that they’d recommend? Think I could use help navigating from my point a to point b... but also some advice on figuring out what my point b is.

My life coach is a mirror. He loves me and thinks I’m doing a great job.

Skip life coach and get a therapist

Never known a successful senior executive that’s woken up on a Tuesday and said, “That’s it. I’ve achieved so much through my leadership career and board work and now it’s time to give back. I’m resigning as CEO of MegaFirm and training to be a certified life coach!”

They’re almost always former real estate agents, insurance brokers, or unemployed mid-level professionals that are struggling to find a real job.

Mentor(s) + Therapist + Friends might be a more reliable way to construct a support system.

They are normally therapists. Therapists turned life coach are the way to go

I disagree with the comments in the thread so far. A quality functional coach can be a total game changer in doing self actualization work and helping you figure out what you truly desire in life.

The real challenge is to find the right coach that is aligned with what you’re looking for.

TOTALLY

Are you serious with this question? If they are so good in life they wouldn’t be a life coach. You’ll be a loser paying someone who can’t get a real job.

Wtf are you talking about. OP don’t listen to these idiots, life coaches are great. Check out the women’s consulting bowl for mature responses

All valid comments above. I would say Life coaches you need to be careful of. I’m both a coach and therapist and the two roles are very different.
Most people who come for coaching would actually be better of in some kind of counselling.
Coaching is better for people who gravitate to the task - rather than relationships at work. It all depends - do you have a goal or an objective??

I have an offer doing pretty much my same job at a smaller firm. It’s only a 6% base raise but they are giving me a bonus each year to make up for the amount my salary falls short of the salary number I gave them that it would take for me to leave. Would you take the offer?

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

Is RPA sales engineering a good career pivot now? Have been in Cloud SE for 5 years and it is getting mundane. Forget about the Data and AI, realistically majority of the work is around VM migration + RFP + Pricing + pushing commit 2x more than customer's current need, instead of really adding technical and business value to the customer.

RPA seems to be on the rise, there are certainly risk but the value + technology seems to be closer to reality. Love to hear more.
