Therapy is cheaper (most times) and I think they tend to get to the core of your thought patterns, personal struggles and values.

As in everything there is a big variety of results. When working with a coach my advice is always to find someone that you resonate with (you can feel it in the first session if you do not like it at first, no point in continuing). Also look for someone that specializes in the topic that you want to work on. Be clear on what specifically you want to improve in your life and look for someone who works with people like you and has a system to help you tack the issue you want to solve. If a coach works with everyone and tons of different topics, is harder to be efficient. For instance, I mostly work with high performance leaders who feel stuck, that they do not have the energy and motivation they had before but they want to keep growing and defying themselves and they need support to organize their thoughts to define what do they want and how to do it.

Not a life coach, but a career / exec coach. Although sometimes I feel we are going beyond just work and hitting on some “life” elements.
Extremely helpful - still working with my coach to do this day.
Just be sure to be thoughtful about the “fit” with your coach and stay away from folks that want to charge you thousands of dollars or lock you into some “program.” I talked to a few coaches that wanted $12,000 for 6 months. Ended up finding my coach through a platform with vetted / certified coaches and the subscription is like $100 / month.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

I’m currently a 2nd year associate in commercial finance. I’ve realized I don’t enjoy a a strictly transactional practice. I enjoyed litigation matters as a summer (particularly the adversarial nature). Also, love talking and advising clients. I don’t want the litigation lifestyle and appreciate the in-house opportunities of transactional. Assuming that I could switch (or lateral), I’m thinking I may enjoy employment (and the ability to defend and train/advise). I appreciate any insight.

When a mid level works with a junior, should the junior send the final product to the partner or the mid level? I am a mid level now, but I started as a junior as part of a growing practice group. At the time, there weren’t many associates in our group, so I always worked with the partners directly. Now we have juniors in our group, but I’m not sure about certain process points (such as the e-mail question), so I appreciate thoughts on this!

Corporate attorneys: how many of you like the substance of the work you do? If you do like it, what's the nature of your practice and what about it do you like?

To clarify, "substance" means what you do when you actually sit down at your computer and turn a document. I don't mean stuff like "I like working on important deals" or "I like working with smart people" or "I like the prestige." Curious how many actually like the nitty gritty work.
