coaching
The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

How Does Coaching Work?
Max360 offers a breakdown of the process.
First, your coach helps you clarify your goals. What do you want? To make six figures? To start your own business? To find the love of your life? You can’t move forward if you don’t know what you want. Next, it’s time to get real. Your coach leads you through an honest assessment of where you are in relation to those goals. Then together, you’ll review the different options at your disposal to start working toward your targets. You both create an action plan. And your life coach motivates you to achieve, tracking your progress (and celebrating your success) along the way.
What really stands out about a life coach’s approach is their relatability and understanding.
Unlike your supervisor or your ex, a life coach can help instill accountability without sacrificing your motivation. They offer a level of expertise that’s trustworthy and effective. But, all the while, you’re excited to keep moving forward. In a sense, taking their advice is just like having them in the corner of the office while you play hardball with your boss. A life coach is the one-man support system you never knew you needed.
Who Needs a Coach?
Are you a perfect candidate for a life/career coach? Probably. Unless you’ve already achieved all your life goals.
People who need life coaches aren’t necessarily incapable of achieving success on their own. They just need help clearing the hurdles that keep tripping them up. They have a desire to do great things but they keep running into roadblocks. The life coach is that final piece of the puzzle—the unlock to a greater, more fulfilling life.
