I am curious about "qualified life coaching" ...what does this mean?

My current target is more writing short stories...getting effort off the ground. Stories would have a mentor theme based on a snapshot from my engineering career...work relationship: getting maximum input for best decisions...always upgrade skills whether immediate need or not...think about conservative budget: actual need versus luxury...stay single target focussed...etc.

I enjoy problem solving, especially when I can learn from the answer; example, someone asked about recording videos, so in a few minutes I reviewed RealPlayer features and learned that it could record webpage Flash video and a few other videos that I had no idea were on my hard disk...disk space saved.

My current path is part-time contract CADCAM software, part-time marketing, part-time security...full time CAD Technician when I can sell my current MasterCAM-CATIA skills.

Daily writing sessions is on my plan and mentoring or coaching sounds like a great advantage...if I knew more about access to mentoring websites or direct counselling.

Any advice appreciated?

Good Afternoon Annie;

I have been doing career counseling on a pro bono basis for about 8 years. I retired from Boeing in 2000 and started doing contract work in the areas of technical recruiting, project management, and quality assurance. We moved a couple of years ago to a small town and I no longer have access to the high tech companies of Seattle and Redmond, home of Microsoft. In addition, I have had 9 surgeries on my eyes and am now quite visually impaired. I am in the process of developing a career search website and want to do career coaching. Would be most interested in staying in touch with you and comparing notes. let me know if you are interested.

Thanks
