- And like all services, effective mentorship requires diverse skills including motivational interviewing, strengths identification, and basic familiarity with cognitive-behavioral interventions.

Life Coaches will therefore be available at all times to help their clients - but will also be supported in making time and space away from their work, as necessary.
