  • Self confidence, time management and work/life balance are strong motivators for seeking coaching.
  • Career opportunities, business management and work performance are also core motivators.
  • Improving relationships, interpersonal and communication skills, and family dynamics are reasons people seek out coaching.
  • Physical fitness and wellness are also areas clients consult with life coaches.
