I am a Wellness Coach focused on “helping people help people”, especially keen to help clients feel more balanced in their lives so that they feel more capable of being more effective altruists. I specialize in working with those who:
Feel in stasis, like they’re not progressing in one or more areas of their life
Struggle to achieve harmony between various aspects of their life, the most classic example being work-life balance
Are morally struggling with some aspect of their life, want to make a bigger impact, or feels like the impact they’re making is “not enough”
Would find some accountability or a cheerleader useful in creating and maintaining healthy routines or meeting goals
Regularly encounter the challenges of working in the nonprofit sector and would benefit from support navigating them
Feel like the black sheep, in their family or amongst their peers, especially as a result of being LGBTQ+

Thanks Aaron. Measurement problems were a big issue. We experimented with incentives a bit, particularly offering to randomly select from students who completed the post-program survey, and those selected would receive money to give to a charity of their choice, but that didn’t seem to make a difference, or at least we weren’t in a place to offer a significant enough incentive to make a noticeable difference.
The other measurement problem that we ran into was knowing that, given the age of workshop participants, in most cases we wouldn’t be able to measure actionable impact for another ~5 years.
