101 Things To Work On With Your Coach
To show you the vast number of different areas in life where people have
problems, gaps, or other impediments, here is a large list of things which
coaches work on with their clients in four main areas. Most coaching
clients have several things they work on with their coach in more than one area.
Print out this form, then go in and check or fill in the degree of importance
each statement has in your current life situation. If you find one or a few that
are "high," and have no clues or plans on how to resolve the problem
or change the situation to a healthy and successful one, a coach could help you!
