Q6- How do you coach?
A coach helps the client to become aware of his/her values in life. This brings a sense of purpose and meaning to the Client in all her/his endeavors in life. E.g., If the Client has set a particular goal, the journey towards its achievement will be highly satisfying if the client is aware of values that have lead to these Goals. Coaching can be used to help the client to gain clarity, confidence, and Motivation. It helps the Client to choose a profession and career in line with his/her natural abilities. It can also help the client make the most decisions in life with clarity, ease, and comfort. The focus is entirely on what you want – I do not give you advice.
