The duties to yourself as a life coach client involve active participation, commitment, and open communication. Here are the key responsibilities:

1. Set Clear Goals: Clients should work with their life coach to identify and articulate their personal or professional goals. Being clear about what they want to achieve helps the coach tailor their guidance and support effectively.
2. Stay Committed: Commitment to the coaching process is crucial. This includes attending scheduled sessions, completing any assigned tasks or exercises, and actively working towards their goals between sessions.
3. Be Open and Honest: Open communication is vital for a productive coaching relationship. Clients should be honest about their thoughts, feelings, and challenges. This transparency helps the coach provide more accurate and relevant advice.
4. Be Receptive to Feedback: Clients should be willing to receive and reflect on feedback from their coach. This can involve embracing new perspectives and being open to change.
5. Take Responsibility: Clients need to take ownership of their progress and outcomes. While the coach provides support and guidance, it’s up to the client to implement the strategies and make necessary changes in their life.
6. Reflect and Self-Awareness: Clients should engage in self-reflection to gain insights into their behavior, patterns, and progress. This self-awareness is essential for personal growth and achieving long-term success.
7. Provide Feedback: Giving feedback to the coach about what is working well and what might need adjustment helps refine the coaching process to better meet the client’s needs.
