Requesting coaching feedback

This is voluntary. Could you give me feedback on how you found me as a coach? These are few questions you could answer. Your feedback does not have be restricted to answering these.

I really appreciate how you provided several possibilities/options based on what I told you. While you tried to hold me accountable for my goals, you still provided options/ideas that I should look into that could help me with my goals, which was helpful in my experimentation of how I accomplish those goals. One thing I would have wanted more of was actually you being less hesitant in providing your opinion. For me, I came into the coaching sessions, actually wanting all your opinions based on what I was saying. I wanted to get more feedback from you, even if I disagreed with it because my use-case is I am someone that looks for lots of feedback when I come to a coach with my progress/shortcomings because I never know when something really helpful or helpful to learn will come from someone else. Thanks!
