“Going through the coaching with Alice gave me the structure, the regularity, and the permission to take all the "what if?" thoughts in my brain and turn them into tasks that I could genuinely work on. It made me realize that thinking about my career was something I could only really do when I understood pretty specific things about myself and how I work. And it gave me Alice, who plays the role of listener and mirror excellently, and who helped to externalize a lot of my thoughts so that I could examine them and act upon them.

Do yourself the favour of having a coach, because 1) paying money will make you feel like you're genuinely investing in the process;
2) you can do away with the worry that you're boring the listener, because it's their *job* to listen very well; and
3) the present job market is insane, and you need all the help you can get to do the inner work as well as the outer work necessary for happiness.”
