In this week’s show, John provides a short update on what’s going on with NewScript, and the Nonclinical Career Academy. And he spends a minute or two sharing updates on two of his most popular guests. He spends the rest of the show sharing his answer to a question offered by one of his listeners: Is coaching/consulting by a career expert to overcome very specific challenges worth the cost of the coaching? As John explains during the episode, it depends on severral factors, including the complexity of the problem, the specificity of the problem, and the skills and reputation of the coach. While there is sometimes no objective answer to a question like this, John describes how he would approach the question. And he offers advice on how to optimize your chance of getting the most from the relationship. He also explains why coaching and consulting appear to be expensive, yet offer abundant value to the coachee.
