4 Easy Steps To Choosing The Right Coach

In the article 5 Signs You Need A Coach ASAP|5 Benefits Of Getting A Life Coach, we defined coaching is a process of moving someone from where they are to where they want to be, through encouragement, guidance and honest feedback.

The coach uses guiding questions to help the coachee set goals and take the necessary steps to achieve them.

Step 1: Know What You Want From The Coach

What aspects of your life need attention and what outcomes do you seek.

Step 2: Verify The Training & Certification Credentials Of The Coach

Are they an authority in their area? What is their experience and achievements in their personal lives? Are they certified professional coaches?

Step 3: Schedule A Chemistry Or Complimentary First Session

This will assess whether the coach is a fit for what you’re looking for.

In this session ask them:

#1: What tools they will use to help you achieve your goals?

#2: How much do they charge for the coaching sessions?

#3: Who have they coached and can you access their testimonials?

Step 4: Watch Out For These Four Qualities In The Coach In The Initial Sessions With The Coach

– Do they ask questions or instruct you? A professional coach asks good questions so you can arrive at solutions not telling you what to do.

– Do they listen to you? Good coaches listen to you without interrupting.

– Are they confidential? Do they share the names and personal stories of their clients with you? If they do, then you’ll be their topic with another client.

– Do they keep time and stick to their commitments to you?

Choosing the right coach for your personality and needs is like finding the perfect house to rent or a car to buy.

It involves a bit of searching and recommendations. But when you find the right one, you’ll just know and your life will be transformed totally.
