In this course you will learn the mistakes that would doom your coaching practice to underperform, or even fail, and what you need to do about it. Instead -

By the end of the course you will learn:

• At least 7 ways that professional coaches fail at this stage, including the number one sin. 
• How to check that your client is in fact coachable.
