Professionals are motivated to be the best at what they do and creatively solve problems and impact people's lives.  They know and seek to learn more about their field.  Acknowledgment for your special contributions, autonomy and self-satisfaction are marks of the successful professional.

Barriers to this success may be the challenge of selling and delivering your services, the loneliness of working alone, a customer base that produces little revenue, being overworked or overwhelmed by the operational aspects of the business.

The Coach will anchor the Professional by reminding who and where they are and what they are doing.  Helping the Professional clarify the structure and a plan for reaching goals including timing, resources, contingencies, and leverage points will effect a necessary structure for growth.
