All this talk about career coaching is making me anxious. Is my career going down the toilet because I lack my very own coach? Is it too late to turn my life around?

Arguably, most anyone can benefit from a career coach — someone who will help you define your goals and devise ways to achieve them. Who doesn’t need someone who will push and nag you to do better, and tell you when you’re being stupid or lazy? Frankly, we all need a kick in the butt every so often.
