The affects of the economic downturn have led us to turn to family and friends for comfort and support as we seek to either retain our jobs, or aspire for something new.

- Seek someone who challenges you. What do I mean by this? A good Coach will often ask 'difficult and challenging' questions that you avoid confronting yourself. These are the same questions that keep you stuck in a rut in the first place. Why? Because you fail to address them.
- Seek a Coach who you warm to and feel that you make a compatible match
- Seek a Coach that knows your objective - What do I mean by this? (read on in part 2)
