You'll also facilitate Client Team Meetings to celebrate progress, identify new goals, and determine responsibilities.

• You are Frequently Traveling : Consistency and dependability are key in this role. If you are often traveling or unable to commit to a stable schedule, it could impact the continuity and effectiveness of the coaching process.
  
• You Are Seeking a Less Challenging Role: This position can be demanding and requires a high level of professional resilience. If you are not looking for a role that challenges and pushes you to grow, this might not be the right fit
