In times of crisis, our common humanity is often raised to the forefront of the cultural consciousness. Neighbors step up to help neighbors. We provide for one another because we see the danger to us all, and we recognize that by fortifying through unification, each of us stands a better chance in facing the danger ahead—the way that a rope woven of many strands is less prone to breakage.

With the prevalence of existential disconnection that our society is faced with, and the aimlessness and purposelessness that comes along with it, it is no surprise that people are turning to external sources to help them rediscover their meaning and find success. However, when faced with deciding who to take on as your life coach, there are certain qualities you should be sure that your prospective coach has.

Through getting to know you and observing the way you move through the world, your coach is able to identify hindrances to your success and work with you to course correct them.

If you’ve never had someone unequivocally in your corner and there for your growth, learn how working with a life coach can forge you into a motivated force for the betterment of yourself, your community, and the planet.

A therapist is an individual trained in counseling practices designed to get to the root of emotional difficulties. A life coach is trained to work with you on accomplishing goals in career, fitness, relationships, and overall life fulfillment.
