I've interacted with a few business/life coaches over the years, and I have found that clicked perfectly for me.

To find them a combination of: - Using search engines for "life coach" or "business coach" in your area

- Find people that you respect in your industry, reach out to them over twitter/linkedin/email/whatever, clearly stating you're looking for a coach, and if there is anyone they recommend.

After you find a few, I suggest just trying them out. Book some sessions and see how it goes. I use these criteria:

- Has worked with engineers in the past.

- Is able to clearly articulate boundaries and approach in the first session

- Willingness to test and measure. Understanding and appreciating the lean startup approach essentially.

- Is solution and goal oriented. Spending weeks/months talking about the problem without attempting solutions is a waste of everybodys time.

- With you can quickly develop a shared understanding of what success looks like.

- Can build a rapport with you, and you can build the trust required for total honesty.
