“With”
It’s not a coach’s role to do something to you. It’s also not a coach’s role to do something for you. When it comes to coaching, the operative preposition is with.
A coach works with you. The goal is not you listening while someone else tells you to do; the goal is you hearing yourself, in your own voice, articulating what matters most to you now, what your goals are, and what you see as the best pathways forward. A coach listens, asks, probes, and may occasionally suggest, but the overarching context is this:
What you are told, you will tend to resist; what you discover for yourself, you will own.
You have more than you think you do; you know more than you suspect you do; you are carrying gifts more wonderful than you imagine. A coach works with you, helping you discover what’s already there, unlock it, and get it going in ways you will find deeply fulfilling and satisfying.
