Deep dives
Understanding client and coach expectations
When starting a coaching engagement, it is essential to address the expectations of both the client and the coach. Clients usually seek coaching because they have specific goals they want to achieve, while coaches aim to be of service and support their clients. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that not every coach-client partnership is a good fit, and coaches need to resist the temptation to accept any client who chooses to work with them. It is important to have open and honest conversations during the client consultation to assess compatibility and ensure alignment between client expectations and the coach's approach.
