Has anyone here ever bought a life coach/career mentor programme?

Is it worth it?

Do they only suit a certain type of personality?

My honest opinion? Its a bunch of bullshit pop pseudo-psychology

they'll just give common sense advice like work hard, manage your time etc.

Just had a google.

There's literally more people trying to sell programmes on how to become a coach than there are people selling the actual coaching programmes.

If you can find an actual mentor, someone in the industry you want to be in, that could be very useful. My Uncle used to be a sales guy, big Dale Carnegie type and mentorships are big in that crowd, but not a random "Life Coach" who would otherwise be in retail or telemarketing. You'd want someone with connections.

Yeah, I didn't think I'd find one in my industry but I have. I might have a chat with them.

I'm sure you can find a single book with more career advice than a whole "programme" and it certainly costs less.

Not bought. I got three followers. Crafty all of them. And one woman i look up unto.

But the question is very relevant. Kudos.
