There may well be areas above which resonate with you (or with some one
you know). Not only can you benefit from coaching directly, eg. the
area you are being coached on, but indirectly through the fact you own
the actions which take place to achieve your change.This can be
empowering on its own.
The coach is in
charge of the process but you the coachee are in charge of the content
eg. taking action. This often leads to more generative and
longer
lasting changes.
