ABOUT
Chad O. Coates

Embracing Joy is a Choice.

I have navigated career transitions and personal loss in my own life.​​ My coaching philosophy focuses on the growth mindset and self-compassion. I offer a judgement free safe-space for reflection, self-discovery, and problem solving. I bring over 18 years of extensive experience from highly esteemed universities in the United States, where I have skillfully guided individuals through significant life transitions. My background as a crisis manager, academic advisor, dean of students, mentor, human, alongside my training as a coach, guide my work.  

Service to others, community engagement, travel, and family bring me joy. I empower individuals to navigate challenges and to tap into their source of joy when making pivotal decisions.
