YouTube 

Can YouTube Career Coach Me? — Well, of course, it can. None of the interventions I bring are rocket science, and they can be found on social media platforms if you search for them.

.

What YouTube cannot bring is The Relationship. Thus, digital platforms cannot provide many strategies that exist only in the relationship between two humans.

.

There can be no accountability.

There can be no bespoke solutions to your unique problems. 

There can be no witnessing and affirmation. 

There can be no humour, and that’s essential when taking this deep divine into your professional motivations.

And so, if you are purely self-driven, motivated enough to get through your bumpy bits, if you need no encouragement or affirmation and can problem-solve alone—of course, YouTube can career coach you. Any digital Platform can provide you with the interventions that you ask for. And AI is having an excellent go at career coaching people right now, and in the future, she may catch up with the human touch enough to be very good at the job.

However, if you suspect deep down that taking the journey on your own might be unsustainable and also unenjoyable, you DO flourish with the addition of accountability, witnessing, affirmation, bespoke solutions designed specifically for you, and a bit of humour . . .
