Can You Be A Successful and Effective Life Coach If You Don’t Have Your Life Together?

Can You Be A Successful and Effective Life Coach If You Don’t Have Your Life Together?

One of the most common misconceptions we hear from people about life coaching is that you must have your life entirely ‘together’, (aka borderline or actually perfect) to be a good coach.
