While the call to coaching is a gift, it’s also a responsibility; we are change catalysts, and change can be challenging. It’s up to coaches to be authentic, accepting, giving and gentle as they help people step out into the world and contribute in ways they never imagined. At the same time, coaches must attend to their own well-being and build a business that enables them to thrive in their chosen potential.
