In the company’s blog post, he explained why he joined BetterUp, saying he recognised a “common passion” for helping people in Robichaux.
“What caught my attention about BetterUp was that the company’s mission to unlock the potential in people everywhere necessitates innovation, impact, and integrity,” said Harry.
“Their team has been delivering on that work for years,” added the prince.
Harry also stated that he had learned from BetterUp’s coaching.
“I’ve personally found working with a BetterUp coach to be invaluable. I was matched with a truly awesome coach who has given me sound advice and a fresh perspective,” Harry said.
Harry joins the startup just weeks after he and Meghan revealed their decision to leave the United Kingdom and step down from senior positions in an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
