Sometimes we have clients who struggle with finding motivation. They may struggle to find motivation in developing a career, accomplishing a goal, or moving on to the next phase in life. There are a number of reasons why a person may struggle with achieving a goal.

This is why it is important that the client develop a level self-awareness in understanding the goal that a client wants to achieve, what they need to achieve this goal, and what is holding him or her back from achieving the goal.
