Recruit someone to act as your coach, who can provide accountability and support along with way. Your coach can also help with some job search tasks, such as prepping you for an interview.
The only requirements of a coach are they care for you and are willing to help. A good coach could be a loved one, co-worker, or neighbor.
Have at least one meeting with your coach every week. Show them your work plan and talk about where you’ve made progress and where you fell behind. Your coach doesn’t need to show up with a ruler to wrap your knuckles, but are there to listen, to support and to inspire.
What do you pay your coach for their efforts? I’ve found a heartfelt thank you, and maybe some homemade cookies, to do the trick. You might also want to keep in mind that although you may not be able to help the coach right now, you could sometime down the road.
