What To Look For In A Life Coach – by Artistik inc
Hiring a Life Coach can be a real issue for a great many people. They have heard about Life Coaching and the astounding results many people are gaining, but have no idea how to spot a good Life Coach from a bad one. Especially as the Life Coaching industry is unregulated. Whereas most Life Coaches will offer prospective clients a free consultation, a great many people don’t take them up on this offer. They simply like the look of their website or impressive credentials and decide even before they make the call that this is the Coach for them.
I highly recommend against this approach and instead suggest speaking with at least 3 different Life Coaches to see which one you gel with the most. Life Coaching is a partnership and if you don’t like your Life Coach then it doesn’t matter how good he or she is, you will not get the results you want.
I would also suggest you ask to speak with a handful of their clients. Most competent coaches will have no issue in doing this because they will have a long list of eager clients happy to extol their virtues. If a Life Coach you contact cannot supply you with testimonials then that is a something you should be concerned about.
If you have never worked with a Life Coach before, I also wouldn’t be afraid to ask if they offer money back guarantee, so that if you are dissatisfied after your first full session you can get a total refund. There are some excellent coaches that won’t agree to this, but when they do it demonstrates confidence in their own ability to deliver value for money and make you want to move on with the process.
In the final analysis though I would say goes with your gut instinct. If you are chatting with a coach and it’s like talking to a long lost friend then that is a great sign. On the other hand if you feel you’re being herded through their sales process then that tells you the coach is more transactional. The latter doesn’t mean they won’t be a great Life Coach, but it may well suggest they aren’t right for you if you have any level of discomfort. In the final analysis do you due diligence by reading up on coaching, researching different Life Coaches and refusing to say yes until you feel 100 % comfortable with the person you are talking to.
