What exactly do you feel you need coaching on more broadly?
Like wheredo you feel you are most lacking? What do you want to be able to do more effectively?
Life.
I mean that both as a joke, but also entirely literally. And I don't mean this as a way to brush off your comment (I'll explain) but there isn't "an area".
But also it's not a "need". If it were a need I'd look for a therapist. I've been officially diagnosed for +15 years, but I'm high functioning (an Eagle Scout, PhD student, and I'm getting married this year). I'm looking for a coach because I know I could be doing better across the board; healthier, happier, better partner in relationships, more productive at school/reseach. I keep track of missteps and their reasons; in high school I was likely operating near the best of my potential, but right now I can tell there's a sizeable gap.
The other, subtle, part of my post is I want to be able to give advice in a small group setting. I've learned a lot of things that are worth sharing, and I feel advice works best when tailored to an individual situation.
