Ask HN: Any recommendations on career coaching / life coaching or similar?
Seeking your advise on something I've been thinking of trying for a while now. I am a mid-career engineer, and while life is great, I was thinking of working with some one on going to the next level (not in terms of corporate hierarchy, but in broader sense) in professional life, and in general as a person. I do have some specific goals I want to work towards, and I've tried creating my own plan towards working on those. But often, life takes over (I am a parent as well), and I lose several months before I make progress. Unfortunately, I cannot take a break from work due to visa situation, otherwise it would have been ideal to take time off and spend on some of the things I wish to try.
I was wondering if working with someone would help me make faster and more meaningful progress. Kind of like how athletes keep working with their coaches to get to the next level. Would you have any advise on that (from your own experience, or someone you know), or anyone you would recommend working with?
Thanks a lot, and look forward to gathering all the awesome advise!
