Because you'll be working so closely with your coach, you want to be sure you've made the right decision. We'd like to provide you with some guidance as you prepare to search for a coach that's best suited for your particular needs.
Look for a coach with integrity and experience and make sure your coach leaves you feeling supported, challenged and understood. The following steps are guidelines when looking for a coach:
Educate yourself about coaching. Hundreds of articles have been written about it in the last 3-5 years.
Know your objectives for working with a coach.
Interview different coaches before you decide on one. You may want to ask the following questions:
-
With whom did I feel most connected?
-
Who best understood where I am and where I want to be?
-
Who most helped me find my own answers rather than providing their own solutions?
-
Who best fit my values concerning training, experience, process and price?
All coaches are happy to discuss your coaching goals with you and offer you a complimentary session for you to experience working with them. This is part of our service to the community and a way for you to get to know a coach and experience the value of coaching first hand.
