We all strive to keep up in today’s fast-paced environment. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance, pursuing our aspirations, maintaining our social life, and dealing with our responsibilities, joys, disappointments, and joys.

In this article, I’d like to propose coaching as a journey off the beaten route, a journey to and with oneself, a voyage to find and unravel the unknown, to deepen and enhance the already known, and to ‘dare greatly,’ as Brené Brown would say.
