Thoughts on executive coaches? How has people’s experience been with them?

Tried to DM you, but couldn’t. Candidly, YMMV on coaching based on what you are looking for and “chemistry” you have with the coach. It isn’t for everyone but it is a massive unlock for some folks.

I do some coaching on the side, hit me up if you want to chat and learn more.

Hmm, I am unable to DM you as well. I’ll find out why and reach reach out.

I think executive coaches can be really helpful if you're looking to level up your leadership skills. Personally I've never tried one yet but I’ve heard great things, especially for people wanting to improve their decision-making and communication. It’s a good investment if you're looking for personal growth!

Thanks! I say this with absolute humility, I come from a background where no one has gotten as far as I have, and I feel like I don’t have the best counsel to make further strides. I have mentors at work, but feel like I need more.

Read “what got you here won’t get you there” by Marshall Goldsmith and see how you feel. What would you want to work with them on? What advice are you seeking/ready to hear?

I had one during my business school program and there’s multiple topics we talked about that have popped up over the years to handle things better. I had a mentor who later quit consulting to be an executive coach and same thing, great advice on how I was being received that helped me navigate work and career better. The perspective and neutral source is eye opening.

Thanks! Yes, I was thinking more of an external coach

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads.

Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Looking for somewhere affordable, not interested in night life or anything but groceries and transit need to be 10 minute walk or less and be safe. Also prefer CTA over metra since my company has later night events. Thank you!!
