This is great advice. As a globally certified career coach I am all about how something is worded to make the best impact and impression. In fact my blog at the moment is all about communication; on resumes, interviewing, wording, first impressions, body language, etc. Your tips are great and I enjoyed reading your post.

I re-tweeted via @CareerCoach. Love the concept of self coaching:

"You really don't know a subject until you can teach it to someone else"… or, in this case, if you can teach yourself, that is just as good, right?

This is a great post. And one of the reasons you can provide excellent tips on coaching is that you've hired coaches in the past.

One of the things I aim for as a coach is planned obsolescence. Over time, I hope that my coaching clients (mostly junior faculty and graduate students) internalize my questions, advice and opinions so that they are able to coach themselves.

Bravo!

That is such a powerful exercise. Taking a step back gets you out of your own stuff and lets you take a more objective look. Nice work!

Good post. Career coaches can be costly, so why not save a few bucks and be your own, right? :)
