I wouldn't be a coach if I didn't think that it wasn't important and valuable. Coaches can be especially helpful in those cases because it's this safe space for you to work through things, but also have someone who's really rational to help guide you through them with potentially some frameworks and extra advice. So there are a lot of things that we want to be coached on where either it takes a lot of time for us to work through or it's something very sensitive.
