"Imagine that you are stressed out, overworked, overly pressured and don’t get the recognition you deserve. This may be so close to reality that you won’t find it hard to imagine! You want to grow in your career, but trapped by your current lifestyle and there’s a genuine fear that you may be close to burning out. One day, a friend mentions that she has been helped by a coach and suggests that you do the same. At first, you resist. You’ve seen the hundreds of articles and adverts promising a silver bullet solution to organise your life, reach your dreams, orchestrate your career and get on top of your life.
So let’s get this out of the way now: There are no silver bullets; no quick and easy solutions; it will not happen overnight.
There are times in life and work when we would benefit from the experience, wisdom and knowledge of people who have been in similar situations. If you are looking for one such person, then you are looking for a coach. But how do you make sure that you get the most out of it?"
