Why now is the perfect time to work with a coach

Media headlines are filled with bad news about the pandemic, international conflict, the “great resignation,” questions about whether to go back to work in an office, and, if you’re a parent, you’re probably facing a certain amount of angst about your children heading back to school.

So what’s a person to do?

Well, some of us took an opportunity during the pandemic to get fit, make sourdough bread from starter, take on a new hobby… and many of us gained weight, juggled work and homeschooling, missed our families, friends and social lives, and languished. A massive number quit jobs.

In a world as VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) as the present, there’s no better time to reground ourselves in self discovery or self mastery, deeply draw from our values, re-visit priorities and they ways in which we meet our own needs, and set new goals based on those values and priorities.

A coach can help you define your values and priorities, facilitate your understanding of your needs and how you meet them, and work with you to ensure you’ve set the kinds of goals that motivate you to achieve them. They will act as an accountability partner and impartial sounding board.

In practical terms, you save time by creating more effective goals and reaching them more quickly so you’ll be ready to act now — or as soon as the time is right. And that’s a sound investment!
