For an important move like changing job it is better to approach a Certified Business Coach
What is coaching?
But what is coaching?
And what is business coaching?
And are coaches certified? Do they have a specific academic background and experience that is assessed and certified by an independent body as a guarantee of the quality of the service they offer?
Compared to countries like the United Kingdom, Italy is not exactly a shining light in terms of attention for standards, methodologies and certifications. But thinks are changing gradually – just think of areas like Project Management, IT security, Business Analysis just to offer some examples within the IT sector that typically is influenced more than others from international standards.
Even in coaching certifications
do exist. In the US, for example, these are disputed because what really counts
is the relationship that is created between the coach and his/her client (the
coachee).

We've built this reputation by insisting on the best: the highest membership standards, the most rigorous evidence-based programs, the most advanced business coaching credentials. WABC's activities set the gold standard for business coaching and help decision-makers around the world when they screen, hire, train and evaluate business coaches.

The Association’s website is able to provide answers to people that have doubts about the fact that business coaching is just chit-chat, a form of consultancy, manipulation or a fad, etc.
