Coaching is a collaborative process, but it is completely centred on you as the client.

A coach will ask you questions to establish your goals, and to guide you towards your own answers about how you can best achieve those goals.

A coach won’t give you advice or tell you what they think you should do. That’s honestly what I love most about coaching - it can be exhausting and confusing when everyone seems to have an opinion on what you “should” and “shouldn’t” be doing. Coaching is the one space where you aren’t inundated with everyone else’s opinions - it strips away all that noise and allows you to zone in on what you really think, and what’s important to you.

That’s not to say that a coach will just nod along and say “yes, how nice!” A good coach will also provide supportive challenge through our questions if they think you might be holding yourself back, and will support with keeping you accountable for taking actions to achieve your goals.
