They may use various tools and techniques, such as goal setting, visualization, mindfulness, and behaviour modification, to support their clients in making meaningful and sustainable changes in their lives.

Life coaching is a collaborative and client-cantered process that

·?????? empowers individuals to take ownership of their lives

Conclusion:

?To decide something fruitful or reach an expected goal an individual or group needs coaching. One coach can provoke their inherent intention rightly. However, a coach will never decide anything for his/her client rather he/she will try to find the best cases or option by the client from their own.
