Do I need a life coach?
We can all use some guidance and support all the time. That is why the first thing that you can do at work is to find a mentor. Several companies have formal programs in place for executives at all levels to assign a mentor, but you don’t need a HR-managed program to have a mentor. I am sure that you admire someone at work (the most important rule is not to pick a mentor who is also your direct supervisor) and if you approach this person to mentor you, most people will be flattered and will readily agree. Agree on a time commitment. Typically once or twice a month is good. Use this person to bounce off ideas, discuss how you can improve and go ahead, and get insights into what your employer values.
For other aspects of your life, get a life coach. Here is a nice interview of Terri Giosia, who shares her thoughts on who needs one and what she or he can do for you. It is money well spent.
