Summary
The coaching industry has grown quickly, but growth has created both opportunity and distortion.

When you understand how to recognize both the red flags and the green flags, you move from uncertainty into discernment, and from searching into choosing support that actually meets you where you are and helps you move forward with clarity and trust.
