1. Be clear on the difference between coaching and other service professions.


Coaches vs. Therapists. Therapy is focused on healing and occasionally generates some action. Coaching is focused on action and occasionally generates some healing. If you want help managing concerns such as anxiety, depression, or addiction you should see a therapist. With that being said, you can still work with a coach while in therapy.


Coaches vs. Consultants. People work with consultants


when they require that expertise to create solutions for them. A coach’s role is in the support, co-creating discovery-based approaches and structures. Your coach will partner with you to develop a plan on your terms to ensure you are creating a life that meets your standards, not anyone else’s.


2. Make sure your coach is trained. Would you go to a doctor that only finished 2 semesters


of medical school? Very few people know that there is actu- ally an international governing body that sets the standards for quality coaching. While there are about 2,000 training programs in the world, only 200 of them are accredited by The International Coach Federation (ICF). That means only 10% of programs produce coaches that are trained at an industry-praised level. You can learn more at www.coachfed- eration.org.


3. Determine if the coach is a good match for you. Committing to a coach is an intimate and life-changing


endeavor. Most coaches offer a complimentary session to explore if you are the right fit for one another and if you aren’t sure then make sure you ask if that is an option. Many coaches are also equipped to handle busy schedules, so don’t feel discouraged if an in-person meeting isn’t doable. Check to see if they offer alternative meeting options, such as phone calls or video conferences.


Working with a coach is an investment, one that you will


thank yourself for forever. It will not be comfortable, but it will permanently change how you think about yourself in the world. You will stop limiting yourself, and instead, get used to embracing your own brilliance and your ability to get more of what you want out life!


And of course, if you were going to do it alone…you probably would have by now!
