This week, Sam and TJ discuss what we love about coaching, why we get into it, why we stay in it. And then on the flip side, what’s challenging about coaching, what keeps us up at night, and why at times we may question what we’re doing. To be in a healthy space for coaching we want to be coaching from a place of significance where we’re performing at high level and making an impact. Comparison, jealousy, and worrying about things we can’t control always threaten to steal our joy. We must protect it. This episode is a conversation starter for you to evaluate where you’re at, but also to be reminded our purpose is bigger than our problems.
