A business coach, like a great sports coach, should meet you where you are. Their job is to ask questions and provide guidance, not to define who and where they think you should be.

You have an existing skillset.
You have a network.
You have opportunity.

A coach should identify and work within those constraints.

One who does will always outperform one who seeks conformity to their personal model for success.

Make sure you’re met where you are. If a coach expects you to join them where they are, demand better.
