• A coach helps uncover strengths and abilities.
  

• A coach is a partner of the healthy client.
   

• A coach acts as a sounding board.
   

• A coach acts as an accountability agent for the client.
   

• A coach asks many questions to help the client clarify his or her process.
  

• A coach provides perceptions, observations and options.
