I can’t believe this is episode #300! In honor, I am offering My Best Career Advice, Academy Award style, in each category I cover.

This week I'm excited to share a "Best of the Exclusive Career Coach podcast" episode — I speak with life coach Jane Springer on the types of mind drama I hear from clients related to the current job market, their qualifications, themselves as human beings, their job search strategy, and their career focus.

I’ve gotten questions lately about what I do as career coach…and they ask if I am a life coach. It occurred to me that there are some similarities and distinct differences between career coaching and life coaching, and I thought I would educate you, dear listeners.

Today I have several guests on the podcast. Alycia Grenesko, Reese Kerlin, and Kristin Kerlin talk with me about why they reached out to me for coaching, what shifted for them during coaching, and what advice they have for others who may be thinking of hiring a coach. I also speak with my coach, Mimi Bishop, who also holds dual roles as a coach and a coachee. Mimi and I talk about the different kinds of coaches we have sought out for different stages of our lives and businesses.
