"This episode is specifically designed around answering the question, how did I know it was time to get my career coaching? Hear successful women share their unique answers." - Nicole Trick Steinbach
Women must recognize the symptoms that indicate the need for professional development and investment in their career growth goals, so this episode answers the question "How did I know it was time for me to get career coaching?" from 10 different women.
I start with a common misconception that career coaching is only for those who are struggling in their careers and how professional men get significantly more professional development investment from their employers than women.
Then I dive into why I first chose to get career coaching, as well as why I decided to invest in more career and leadership coaching over the following decade of professional growth.
Finally, 11 women from all over the world, from diverse industries, and unique roles share their specific and unique stories that led them to invest time, effort, and money in a career coach. Some of the women are (or have been) my clients.
I hope their brave stories resonate with you and inspire you to reflect on your own career needs, goals, and growth to help you know when it is time for career coaching. And when it is not.
The biggest thing we can learn from this episode is that investing in career coaching is not a sign of weakness or failure, but rather a proactive step towards personal and professional growth.
