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.
