Coaching in Ali's own words:

"Coaching allows you to bring a range or diversity of styles into a session that will compliment the style of the client. It's very difficult for people to hold a mirror up to themselves - if you want to scrape away layers then you need assistance. It's much easier to deal with and if necessary change ingrained behaviours in a 1-2-1 situation. Coaches are not there to give business advice but to enable clients to enable themselves to run the business."
