• We find energy for action.

• finding solutions for a specific problem – coaching is not mentoring – a mentor who has experience in a particular industry can advise on our business, a coach will only make it easier for us to find a solution,
• finding a universal plan or training, which we have only to implement point by point; coaching works holistically, and the plan is tailored to the client and his needs,
• getting ready solutions – will give us strength and advice on how to deal with our fear or lack of confidence
