Ive never worked with one but ive been very curious - particularly in todays rough job market. What did you get out of it, and why did you choose to start seeing a coach now?

like

MS1 the reason I wanted to start seeing one now is that I’m 45 and feeling like my career is stagnating. I know I’m capable of more just feel like I can’t break through and get seen. My managers recognize that I’m talented and they are giving me opportunities over my peers but their hands are also tied a bit in terms of promoting me or giving me what I actually want. To a certain extent it’s not even about the money anymore. It’s about being challenged and pushed to grow.

Following, curious as well.

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
