Does Everyone Deserve a Coach?
That is how some stranger's headline opened. Every child deserves a meal. Healthcare is something everyone deserves. Everyone deserves a loving partner. That doesn't mean you will receive any of them.
I did not delve deeper to see if he is "Mr. Wonderful" or the coach of your dreams. At this point I need caring individuals, not someone paid to care. Life is not a transaction.
What do I deserve? The same thing you deserve. Absolutely nothing. Writing more articles than anyone on LinkedIn might open a couple doors. It has not caused a woman to love me back.
I can make money on my own. Coaching is another form of indoctrination. At least it is in my experience. The roots are in childhood when my father told me what I "Needed." It showed how little he knew about my best interests.
Two things happened in seventh grade that changed the course of life for the better. Treating school like "The most important thing in my life" and seeing therapists when I never asked for that?
It amazes me how little school means once you are out of that bubble. Therapy muddied the waters when clarity was implied. My parents could have done no worse spending that money on drugs.
It was a comparable waste of time and money. The correct answers were "Going to the library on my own" and the arrival of a family member that would forever change the course of my life for the better.
Even at a young age it was amazing how set in their ways the people around me were. That paradigm shift baby gave me purpose. If any coach said they could give me purpose I would try to attain the level that I already have.

Not everything is about making money. My father wanted my talents to go towards the vague concept of "Making money." I can do fast math in my head. That does not mean I want to go into a mathematic field. I was not allowed to find my way or enjoy anything without becoming a mercenary.
Work it out for yourself. There is a myth that paying more money leads to a better experience. You cannot throw good money after bad. It was assumed I was screwed up so they sent me to professionals who never had any desire to resolve any issue.
No, they pushed me to the next doctor who would treat my problems like a hot potato. I can count on one hand problems that were resolved by therapists. They were paid to listen and failed at that.
Play with fire and get burned. With no history of success I see no reason to fall into that web of deceit. It is possible to subsist without a coach. I have a group of friends at work and that makes a big difference.
Taking young women at face value is an extension of the relationship with a certain baby. Give everyone a chance to do well. Having people to talk to and describing various facets of the job- hopefully I shall keep them on the job. Management does not care about employee retention.
Should I call myself a "Retention Coach"? No. You can be nice and accommodating to everyone and some will still leave to take another position. I am no coach in any way.
Ever notice coaches have impostor syndrome? I am far too hated to have that strange perception. Going against coaches is sacrilegious on this site. If you feel a coach can enhance you- vet that coach and proceed accordingly. No one deserves anything. East Palestine, Ohio and Jackson, Mississippi deserve potable water although what they want and what they have are two different things.

2 年I used to have a Scottish friend who would always correct me if I would respond with "I'm good" to "How are you doing?" She would always remind me that "none of us are good, thom." You are "well." Few of us "deserve" what we have in this life, not when so many in the world do without the bare necessities of life and safety.
