The coach assists in setting boundaries, prioritising activities, and managing time effectively, ensuring that clients maintain harmony between their various roles and responsibilities.

2. You have laser focus and strong self-discipline: A coach holds the client accountable for the commitments and progress towards the goals. By providing support, encouragement, and feedback, the coach helps individuals stay motivated, overcome obstacles, and maintain momentum, especially during challenging times.
