What are your goals? (not mine for you)
What are the steps towards reaching that goal? (lets climb the mountain one step at a time)
What are the barriers to each step and how can you remove them? (what's preventing you from taking a step?)
Enabling requires: A working relationship that puts the consumer in the decision making position A contract (written or oral) that spells out the expectations in the helping relationship.
