Why My Life Coach Rocks

I believe that everyone ought to have a personal board of directors in their life… especially in your 20s.

"I believe that everyone ought to have a personal board of directors in their life…"

So true! I'm very fortunate to have several advisors and mentors on a variety of topics in my life!

I'm still hesitant about a life coach, but your article did make me think twice! Cheers!

I agree - everyone should have a person or people that help them focus and stay on track. Life coaches are great because they're not "friends" who may just sugar-coat what you don't want to look at. A coach helps you focus on what's important to you, discover your life purpose and live the life you're meant to be living.

I'm happy to hear that you and your life coach work so well together. There are many great coaches out there for anyone to see success in their lives.

Thanks for sharing.

Holly, just to comment on your new goal of pursuing an MBA, my own education has been invaluable to me. I get crap for getting my "worthless degree" all the time, but always from people who don't have one. You don't need one, but you will likely graduate a better business woman and with a more worldly view. Don't listen to the haters =D

I've heard mixed stories abour life coaches. Some are really great while others can really be a huge waste of time and money. I'm curious about how you found yours, and what about her skills/qualifications convinced you that she was someone who could help?
