Your aim is to find ways that you and your coach can collaborate so that communication is clear and efficient and you learn what’s most important to learn as quickly as you can. The goal is to work together to minimize the interference. And that’s a negotiation. You’ll have preferences, and your coach will have preferences. You’ll make requests that won’t work from the coach’s point of view. That’s the nature of these conversations. It’s not about making demands; it’s about figuring out together what works best.
