INTERVIEW: Would You Benefit from Hiring a Business Coach?

May 27, 2019 by Jim Peacock Leave a Comment

Peak-Careers Interview

What are the benefits of hiring a business coach for career practitioners?

In our interview today, I talk with two successful career service providers who talk about the benefits of hiring a business coach. Whether you are in private practice or a career practitioner that wants to advance your own career, would you benefit from hiring a business coach?

Listen to this interview to learn about the benefits of hiring a business coach and why you might consider it.  This is a follow up to my blog on the same topic, Do You Need a Business Coach?

My guests today are: Karen Chopra, Founder of Chopra Consulting for Consultants and Mark Danaher, Founder of Mark Danaher Training and Coaching

What we explore:

– How has working with a business coach helped you in your private practice and your own career development?

– What recommendations do you have for identifying a coach for career practitioners?
