Coaching isn’t advice - here’s what it is instead.

Written By Jennifer Leppington-Clark
 

We live in a world overflowing with advice. Tips. Hacks. How-tos. Everyone seems to have a five-step formula for success, happiness or clarity. But coaching, real coaching, isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s not a megaphone. It’s a mirror.

 

Coaching is a space to hear yourself

When clients come to me, they’re often navigating change, uncertainty or a quiet sense of misalignment. They’re not broken. They don’t need fixing. What they need is space to pause, reflect and reconnect with what truly matters. Coaching offers that space. It’s a moment to step out of the noise and into clarity. Not by adding more information but by uncovering what’s already within.

 

What coaching is not

Let’s clear up a few common misconceptions:

  • Coaching isn’t advice-giving

  • It’s not therapy, consulting or mentoring

  • It’s not about having all the answers

  • It’s not a performance review or a productivity push

If you’re looking for someone to tell you what to do, I’m not your person.
But if you’re ready to hear yourself more clearly, I’m here.

 

What coaching is

  • A calm, confidential space to explore what’s true for you

  • A process of deep listening, intuitive questioning and gentle challenge

  • A partnership that honours your wisdom and supports your growth

  • A way to move forward with intention not obligation

I won’t hand you a roadmap, I’ll help you design your own, one that feels aligned, spacious and true.

 

Why this matters

We’ve been conditioned to seek answers outside ourselves, to hustle, perform and prove. But clarity doesn’t come from more noise. It comes from pause, presence and better questions.

That’s what coaching offers. Not a louder voice but a clearer one. Not more advice but deeper awareness. Not reinvention but realignment.
