“Some really interesting personal lifelong ambitions have been raised by a couple of the people in the group this week. And once again I am reminded of what a privilege it is to be a catalyst in their journey. If you are even remotely interested in coaching I urge you not to hesitate. Do whatever it takes. And commit to someone else’s success. It is amazing. “
This from Diary Of A Coach this week.

“When I first trained as a coach six years ago, my trainer said there was no such joy as being part of someone else’s success. I now experience for myself the truth in that. I am heartened by the very noticeable spirit of support and contribution with this particular group. They each have their own business and personal goals. And in addition to their weekly sessions with me, they have decided to share their goals with each other and look for ways to help and challenge each other. Two of them want to change their careers - bold steps since both are in their forties and have spent years training as a lawyer in one case and a GP in the other. Is it my pattern or theirs that I attract people wanting to get off the corporate treadmill and do something for themselves?”

I am a recruitment consultant who has effectively been coaching my candidates for years and years and now I want to add a new string to my bow… so career coaching seems to be the obvious next step?
Most of the courses I seem to find cost such a lot of money and I dont earn that much so I need to make sure that whatever I choose is the best I can do. I cant afford to make a mistake. This dilemma has kept me stuck on the fence for the past 12 months. I have spoken to lots of people and been to lots of taster sessions but still can’t work out what would be the best course.
Has anyone else faced the same dilemma? How did you decide? Did you make the right choice? What should I do to stop provaricating?
I would really be so grateful for any thoughts you have.
