The following is an excerpt from the CoachStart Manual.

There’s nothing wrong with coaching, or attempting to coach everyone.  OK – spouses, lovers, and family are generally accepted “no-coach zones”, but don’t let the fact that it’s challenging daunt you.  If your “client” is truly willing to be coachable, and you will suspend your opinions, judgments and agendas, it doesn’t matter who you are.  One of my amazing UK clients, Sarah, coached both her mother and her father, and they both paid her!  Her father is progressing in leaps and bounds and his colleagues keep remarking on the difference in him.

To make a difference to your confidence, however, it helps if you gain some clarity around types of people you would like to make a difference to.   For example, I found that I love helping women realize that it’s OK to want more in a relationship and helping them to get it.
