Why do I coach?

I've always valued peer coaching and mentorship in my professional and personal life! I've learned a lot from people slightly ahead of me in life, and have most benefitted from the tactical advice, unspoken rules, and mindset shifts shared with me. I love supporting those who are interested in paths that I've walked down and I'm keen to pay it forward through coaching.
