Everybody needs a coach—even coaches.

When LinkedIn rewarded one of my posts with a single impression after eight hours, I declared, “LinkedIn is dead.” Then Adam, a LinkedIn coach I had worked with before, reached out and asked one simple question: “Do you want to talk?”

What followed wasn’t a lecture or an elaborate LinkedIn strategy. It was exactly what good coaching should be: timely perspective, a few useful reminders, genuine curiosity, and the encouragement I needed to get back in the game.

In this episode, we explore why everyone can benefit from a coach, how to find a career or leadership coach who truly resonates with you, and why great coaching isn’t about monologuing or dispensing endless advice. It’s knowing when to ask questions, when to offer guidance, and when someone simply needs to hear, “You’ve still got this.”
