I've always been skeptical of coaching, mostly because I believe most people can do it themselves. It's good to have some background on leadership principles, of course. But the inner work that's also required can be accomplished without a formal coaching situation. If you can identify your strengths, and be honest about your weakness, and work on them, you can coach yourself. Having said that, there could be blind spots where a coach could come in useful, but that's for each individual to determine.

Coaching has helped accelerate my career at critical points in time. Think of it in these terms, if you were a competitive athlete, you’d have at least one coach. Why not leverage one for work? I’ve utilized them for promotion preparation, as an independent advisor during crises, and as a way to get real talk on my 360 feedback. In my experience, hiring a coach that can speak truth to your power, kindly, along with having specific skills and a track record of coaching executives like you, can be a fantastic way to level up behaviors and skills. There is only one organization, ICF, that provides coaching certification, and it does not mean the coach is qualified if they are certified. I’ve worked with both credentialed and not credentialed coaches. My experiences were excellent with both. Interview several and ask plenty of questions. It helps to have a clear coaching need in mind to share with them.

Happy to help recommend folks to research if you want to DM me.

I agree with Partner 1. Coaching has been life-changing for me as well. Although it took a few tries before I found the right one, it was well worth my time.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
