Be Your Own Best Coach?
Boston Globe columnist Penelope Trunk writes in her blog "Brazen Careerist" that your best career coach may be between your ears. She says she's developed four techniques for coaching herself:
- Talk to an imaginary coach
- Ask yourself better questions
- Pretend to give advice to someone else
- Believe in your ability to make positive change in your life
: this may help you suss out what you should be doing.
: the really hard kind.
: this sounds like a variant of #1.
: because if you don't, why try?
In the comments to the post, readers argue for the value of a real career coach.
