A successful coach-client relationship depends, amongst other things, on the coach having an appropriate mindset:
1. That they free their minds of any attachment to their own needs and agenda
2. That they accept everything that the client says as information, without making any judgement about it being good or bad, desirable or undesirable, right ot wrong.
3. All of the input comes from the client, not from the coach; the coach can offer feedback and ask questions to help the client gain insights, but should not lead or control the client.
The question then comes up about what to do if the client asks directly for advice or help. At this point, the coach needs to have a conversation with the client and perhaps change the nature of the relationship.
