As it is, I am currently coaching men in their 20s from unemployment or never had a job at all into a job.
It is a program funded by the Norwegian government. This program for these people runs over 22 weeks. It i challenging because even though being a coach, most people you coach want to be coached. These people does not necessarily want to be coached. Some of them don’t even want to be there. Better home gently in their bed, shutting the harsh reality of the world out. If so they will lose their benefits, though.
These fine people with a lot of potential, if you only get deep enough to uncover it, are in a huge transition. Their biggest challenge is to let go of the past. That is scary, don’t know how to do it, what awaits. Playing the blame game all the time. Anger. It is usually hard to realize you are the master of your own future, destiny, fortune (choose whatever you like).
Asking what are you good at? I am not good at anything. Do you have any interests? No. What do you like? Don’t like anything.
Some are like obsessive kids. How to make them receptive of some positive input?
How to make them realize the way they behave is mostly detrimental to themselves, and then those close to them, if any (left). How to get the message about cause and effect across. “The world is against me!” they say. No it is not true. “It is you that are against the world.” “The world” only returns your vibrations. When I crack that code of understanding I have come far with this group!! 
As a coach this process gives me deep insight. Great joy every time we get one of them into a job. Most of them as apprentices as that is paid for by the government. Job training.
I also realize that some of what I have learned, used, do not necessarily work all to well in all situations. So I am broadening my tool kit.
