Has anyone here used a career coach to figure out their next step? I don’t mean therapy, and I’m not looking for someone to just tweak my resume. I’m talking someone to help me step back, assess my skills, and think through where I actually want to go. I’ve been in accounting for almost a decade, and I’m ready to do something different, but I’m too deep in the weeds to figure it out alone. Is coaching worth it?

My coach helped me connect the dots between what I was good at and what gave me energy. It’s not a magic bullet, but it can absolutely move you forward faster.

I think it can be helpful depending on the coach. Ive tried it twice at different points of my life and it didnt really benefit me.

I can help show you your next step
