Challenges to Learning for Business Coaching Training or Executive Coaching Certification

When participating in a businesscoaching training program or executive coaching certification, what is the biggest challenge to learning how to coach effectively?  The answer comes from 7 years of training coaches: the most common challenge is to transition from mentoring, consulting, or giving advice to accessing the expertise of the client them self and eliciting the goals, obstacles, solutions, and plan from them.

For example, a mental health professional has great transferable skills.  The challenge for them is that they are trained to diagnose, work with past issues, provide information, and give advice.  A coach does not do any of these things.  So for a mental health professional the challenge is to switch gears and truly put the client in charge.
