Looking back I wish I had a coach in my corner and that is now my “why” as a coach. It’s important that every child and teen that I work with feels supported and is given the support, and resources to succeed in life. Every so often I’ll receive a message from a caregiver appreciating the positive results they’ve seen in their child through coaching. BrightLife Kids is helping families be healthier, and when families are healthier, our communities are too.
