Self-esteem coaching is about making positive and lasting changes in your life by going back to the very basics.
During my university years I conducted lots of research about self-esteem (I studied psychology in University of St Andrews in Scotland).
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
It’s a well written piece – with the subheadings from page one alone telling a particularly torrid and alarming story (e.g. Quarter-million jobs, Self-worth, No Callbacks, Transaction bubble, Nobu’s Retreat).
According to my Tokyo headhunter contacts, most all the Foreign Banks are in lock down mode for IT hiring. Good people are being let go, sent overseas (Singapore is popular) or outsourced.
Get a bunch of coaches together and some are likely to start coaching each other – with consent, of course. I’d dread to see non-consensual coaching haha!
Anyway, we were doing some practice in one of the ICF’s 11 core coaching competencies. And tonight’s was all about “Setting The Foundation”.

I’ve been visiting the UK-based Career Shifters for some months now – and also added their link to my blogroll.
I highly recommend this site if you’re looking for real life stories and inspiration (and yes, problems too…) from people at various stages of career change.
