Many facts about coaching will influence your decision to become a coach, what type of coach you will become, and whether or not you will hire a coach.

Facts about coaching - it can help overcome a scarcity mindset
The scarcity mindset (negative money mindset) is very prevalent. It can also be associated with performance. It always reflects a belief of lack in life or business. Lack of resources, lack of money, lack of ability, etc. Scarcity prevents us from seeing that there are enough seats at the table, collaborating, or referring to others. Rising tides rise all ships, but you can't get to that place until you work on your scarcity mindset.
You don't have to have all the answers. But accepting vulnerability and asking for your help to discover the answers is vital. And, when help is offered or a referral given, receive gracefully, lovingly, and generously. A lack of resources isn't the problem; the scarcity mindset must be navigated first.
Your overall well-being is related to your mindset. Did you know that your gut health influences your ability to have an abundance mindset? When you've experienced any trauma in your life, it's important to do inner healing work by nurturing mind, body, and soul.
