Life is a journey. Just as with any journey, you are more likely to enjoy the adventure if you take control vs. wait to see what may happen.
For example, imagine a sports team without a coach. They may be able to pull off a win here and there, but what if they had a coach who focused on pushing them to their limits, inspiring them each step of the way?
A coach helps you seek awareness and gain clarity on goals along with realizing a plan to overcome obstacles and maintain motivation.
