The best coaching approaches are about finding and expressing purpose, creating the life you want, and living meaningful lives. While practical problem solution coaching also happens, it tends to be tied to longer-term approaches to meaning in life.
You see, problems are often side effects of our internal stories, our trying to live from the outside in, and limiting beliefs and relationships. They also result from being dependent on systems that devalue us, underpay us, and oppress us.
Life is complex. It is often difficult. Coaching can help us navigate the complexities and identify and walk away from things that undermine our well-being. It can help us create new directions and results.
