Coaching or Coaching & therapy or something like that
Basically I think it’d be useful to have a way to collect all posts relevant to coaching and/or therapy as ways to increase people’s lifetime impact—so as meta interventions/cause areas, rather than as candidates for the best way to directly improve global wellbeing (or whatever). So this would include things like Lynette Bye’s work but exclude things like Canopie.
In my experience, it tends to make sense to think of coaching and therapy together in this context, as many people offer both services, the boundaries between these concepts/services seem fuzzy, and many of the relevant considerations seem similar. But it could make sense to have two tags.

Yes, makes a lot of sense. Not sure why we don’t have such a tag already.
Weak preference for coaching over coaching & therapy.
Ok, now created, with coaching as the name for now
