The genuine work of a coaching program begins when a coach and client both declare the outcomes that they are dedicated to accomplish.

A huge portion of coaching’s power comes from clients intentionally making declarations, a deliberate stepping out from reacting to life, from one incident to another.

We do, however, have the wherewithal to say what we care about, what we will commit to, and what we will stay true to in the face of any and all difficulties.

In enrollment, both the client and the coach make explicit what they are committed to accomplishing in the coaching program.

One of the important contributions coaches make is having a wide perspective on the client’s situation.
