One of the ways I accomplish this is to ask clients specific questions about their goals and how they will achieve them. Then, I help clients build strategies that will be the most effective to enact the changes that the clients desire.Accountability: Help clients realize and create actionable goals, also hold clients accountable for reaching those goals.
