About Sherpa5280 Personal Coaching for Men

Imagine climbing a mountain and gradually discovering incredible panorama of peaks, lakes, snow drifts, and wildlife; it is as beautiful as it is daunting, and you resolve that that you’re not turning back. What do you need for this climb to go well? You certainly don't need clichés and pity, but tips about hiking gear, crevasses, and, generally, not dying. You need some guidance from someone who has hiked this path before and provides help, guidance, helpful tools, and a shot of good old fashion encouragement – that’s what we all need. You need what all the climbers who have summited the world’s tallest peaks need – a Sherpa.

Welcome to Sherpa 5280. The climb we are talking about is the climb called "your life." Sherpa 5280 brings elite resources to help you "summit life's climb” of faithfully caring for yourself, caring for your loved ones, caring for your business and community colleagues, and fundamentally caring for yourself.

Whether you are that man, or there is a man in your life who needs resourcing to start the journey or, in some cases, get back on the journey after getting discouraged or sidetracked, let's get back on the trail today.
