I tried to explain to my mother the other day what I meant by "blogging" and "posting on our blog."

He called The Coach Connection because he had been looking for work for many months without success and admitted he had completed hundreds of online job applications. He came to coaching very frustrated because he could not understand why someone would not hire him with his vast experience and education. After two cycles of coaching, Brent had this to say about his coaching experience: “Working with my TCC Member Coach through the Coach Connection was a very rewarding experience for me.

My TCC Member Coach helped me find a job with a large multinational organization where I can use my unique skills helping people across the globe. She helped me overcome my preconceived limitations to finding meaningful work in my organization of choice.    more »
