Compassion, resilience, and networking events

I'm writing a book on coaching! I've spoken with hundreds of coaches in the last 3 months. One thing that I hear over and over is that coaching is lonely work.

Coaches tend towards carving out specific niches and developing specialties. For example, one coach might focus on co-founder conflict and another on building and scaling teams as a person of color. However, coaches build out these focus areas in complete isolation from other coaches working on the same problems with other clients.

To be a part of the book, tag yourself or your coach in the comments of this post, and I will personally reach out to set up a time to find out whether it's a good fit.
