In Atlanta’s fast-paced landscape, fatherhood comes with its own set of challenges. Whether navigating divorce, adoption, or simply wanting to connect more deeply with their children, many dads struggle to find the right approach. That’s where Sharif, owner of Life Coach ATL, steps in.
Dedicated to helping fathers strengthen their relationships with their kids, Sharif’s approach to life coaching is transforming families across the city. As a husband and father of four, he understands firsthand the complexities of parenting and the importance of building meaningful, lasting bonds.
From Passion to Purpose: The Birth of Life Coach ATL
Sharif’s journey into life coaching was deeply personal. While he always had a good relationship with his children, he knew there was more work to be done. Through therapy, self-acceptance, and coaching, he found a way to not only connect with his kids on a deeper level but also help other fathers do the same. That journey led to the creation of Life Coach ATL, a space where dads—regardless of background—can gain the tools and confidence to show up for their kids in the ways that matter most.For LGBTQ+ parents, this mission is especially meaningful. The unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ dads, from navigating adoption to combating outdated societal norms, often leave them feeling unseen in traditional parenting spaces. As an LGBTQ+ father himself,
Sharif is deeply passionate about ensuring that these parents receive the support, validation, and coaching they deserve.

And while his primary focus is on fathers, Sharif’s coaching is open to any parent looking to strengthen their relationship with their children. His mission is to create a supportive, inclusive space for all families, regardless of race, background, or identity.

From Sharif:
As a proud member of the OUT Georgia Business Alliance for the past three years, I joined to expand my network and grow my business—but what I found was something even more valuable: community. As a father of four (two adopted, two biological) and a husband of nearly ten years, my journey as both a parent and a professional has been deeply personal. My own experience of rebuilding and strengthening my relationship with my kids—through therapy, self-acceptance, and coaching—led me to my true calling: helping other dads do the same. Now, as an award-winning coach, I’m dedicated to guiding fathers in reconnecting with their children, whether after divorce, adoption, or simply striving for a deeper bond.
