look at the business side and, at the same time, look to see
whether [clients] are working too many hours, examine their
time-management effectiveness, their fitness and their life
relationships," "A coach can be skilled at coaching,

of the job is to be a resource -to have an extensive database
of people I can refer to, so that I can call in a mentor when
the client needs one." "
