Why I’m Still a Coach


I’ve been asked, "Why do you still coach? Isn’t it hard holding space for others all the time?"

Yes, it is. But it’s also the most fulfilling thing I do.

I coach because of the light in someone’s eyes when they reconnect with their purpose. Because someone says, "No one's ever asked me that before." Because transformation isn’t a big bang. It’s a whisper that grows.

I coach because every story shared is sacred. And I still believe in the magic of human change.

What keeps you committed to your path? 

a) The idea that it changes / impacts lives

b) The recognition it brings 

c) The freedom of expression/thought

To all the coaches, leaders, and lifelong learners—here’s a curated list of books that keep me inspired. Check them out here.
