Prince Harry signed on as the chief impact officer of BetterUp last spring, promising to help promote the startup’s mission of “mental fitness” and its army of more than 2,000 professional coaches. It’s likely a lucrative gig for the British royal: BetterUp raised $300 million at a $4.7 billion valuation in October.
But just six months later, an uprising has been brewing among the company’s career coaches following BetterUp’s recent announcement that it would modify their contracts—resulting in what those mentors said was effectively a sneaky pay cut—according to six coaches who spoke with The Daily Beast.

Life coach? Good grief. I always thought a “life coach” was called a father and a mother, grandparents, aunts and uncles, or a mentor.

At the end of 2020, America's largest natural gas supplier, EQT, which supplied about 4% of the TOTAL energy used in the United States, had a valuation of $4 billion. At the same time, Facebook had a market cap of $1 Trillion.
I often feel America is increasingly an unserious country.
Well said!

I agree. Who uses this???
Ugh... blind leading the blind.
Worse than that , in some cases, the stupid leading the stupider.
Is Prince Ginger taking a pay cut???

“I would say my heart is broken.”
I would say your brain is broken.
Is he also using the Invictus Games for wounded vets to promote this company?
just another tempest in the not-so-royal teapot ...
Coach to be p-whipped?
Yes he is, but if I were an injured vet with mental and emotional issues to work out, I would want an in-person, credentialed therapist, not some Zoom call, fly-by-night life coach.
I recall seeing a resume on Twitter of a ditzy looking blonde chick, 23 years old with the current job of “Life Coach”.
