For those in the coaching business (life/business), spiritual directors, or counselors, what are the challenges you typically face when meeting a client for the first time to do a one-on-one coaching/counseling?

We are all driven by our habits, what we know, we live. In a new coaching engagement, the challenge is to bring forth what's working & what's not working.  The client must take the opportunity to tell the story that is & acknowledge the areas where they want encouragement and support to change in order to create a new thriving life story. Often clients come into the coaching engagement with one issue they think is it, and after working with them they discover the underlying issue, the one that was buried. I am an acceleration coach, I use assessments, exercises & questions that reveal what they want to heal, so the client can achieve their full potential.
