Idealists need to explore “core of self” through life coaching.

Dave Wheitner argues that idealists — who are out trying to save the world — frequently overlook their own growth and are therefore perfect candidates for life coaching.

According to Wheitner: 

Idealists gravitate toward causes including environmental sustainability, health and medicine, animal rights, social justice, ethical leadership, labor rights, and world peace. We may take on very formal roles such as nonprofit executive director, political leader, advocate, educator, counselor, physician, or entrepreneur of a socially and ecologically responsible business. We may occasionally volunteer or engage in civic action. Or, we may possess great concern about the issues of the world but feel too overwhelmed to act.

Life coaching can help idealists establish priorities and develop the inner strength needed to take leadership roles where they can put their ideals into action.
