My perspective is that life coaches are people who couldn’t figure out their own lives or careers so decided to hop on this band wagon. I have an ex partner, a messed up, financially bankrupt control freak, who went this route, and the fact that she’s out there telling people how to run their lives is terrifying.

Read this book called “So Good They Can’t Forget You.” A successful career change builds on some aspect of your life where you already have career capital or existing skills, not just an amorphous “passion.” It’s a very practical and useful book.

Thank you for explaining.

I saw a post recently about coaches like this and the consensus was they didn’t do a whole lot. I’m working with a mentor type person whose life I admire. He’s humble and complete opposite of an ad person so his perspective is helping me see my future and the possibilities very differently. I’m working on my writing (social commentary/essays) and he’s coaching me, more or less. I think it helps if you can look at what interests you and go from there? Hope any of that helped

I was in a similar place and thought meditation would help, so I looked for a meditation teacher. Turns out she also does coaching and was super helpful for me. She gets to root of core issues, as they impact every area of your life - not just work. Her goal is to help people find meaning and purpose. Highly recommend her: www.yuridhara.com. She’s based in NYC. Go to an intro session - I think she can really help!

I know several people who have each benefited immensely from working with a coach. But, of course, it depends on the chemistry.

Interview life coaches very carefully. They are specific to the individual and good ones are hard to find!
