How To Choose
A Life Coach

Once you've decided.to try
life coaching, the next step is
finding the right coach. Here
are some tips, gathered from
a variety of sources, on how to
choose the coach to best help
you achieve your goals:

• Choose someone who has
a master's degree or.higher
and is licensed in counseling,
therapy or social work.
• Because the industry is
unregulated, ask aboutlhe
coach's experience in the field,
and look for someone who
does this as a full-time profes-
sion, not a sideline or hobby.
• Whenever possible, get rec-
ommendations from friends,
business associates or other
professionals.
• Don't base your choice
strictly on cost. Fees for life
coaching can vary greatly, and
you may have to pay more for
someone who has the experi-
ence and expertise you need.

Think of it as an investment in
yourself and your future.
• Schedule preliminary inter-
views with the coaches you

approach be more successful?
• If you have particular issues,
such as ADHD (Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder),
choose a coach who special-
izes in treating clients with
that condition.
• Trust your instincts. After
your initial phone conversation
or face-to-face meeting, assess
whether or not you felt a good
rapport. Did the coach listen to
you and understand what you
are trying to achieve? Did his/
her personal style mesh with
your own?
