Go Together

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” (author unknown)

In a world that often praises independence and self-reliance, it’s easy to think the quickest route to success is doing everything on your own. As a Capability Coach, I often see clients wrestle with the pressure to move quickly, believing that speed equals progress. But meaningful growth, the kind that reflects your core values and leads to lasting satisfaction, rarely happens in isolation.

When we welcome in support, collaboration, and reflection, we tap into deeper strength and clarity. Coaching reflects this belief. It’s not about offering advice or quick fixes, but about walking beside someone as they uncover their own strengths and shape a life that feels truly fulfilling.

It’s easy to feel disheartened when others seem to be sprinting ahead. I’ve had moments where I thought, Why does everyone else seem so far along while I’m still figuring things out? But this quote reminds me: progress isn’t a race. Just because someone appears to be moving fast doesn’t mean they feel steady, connected, or content.

Building a life of purpose takes courage, curiosity, and the humility to let others in. Whether through coaching, community, or trusted relationships, we gain insight and momentum when we allow ourselves to be supported. Real transformation isn’t about how quickly you arrive, it’s about moving with intention, staying true to yourself, and surrounding yourself with people who reflect back the strength you might forget you have.
