There are many factors to consider when choosing a coach.
Importantly, it is advised to choose a coach who belongs to a professional membership organisation such as the ICF or EMCC. This assures you that the coach has been trained by a reputable body and is committed to continuous development.
The rapport that you build with a coach is important to the process, remember, this may take time to build. You should be able to book a complimentary call to learn more about your coach. The coach should be curious about you and your goals, working together is a mutual decision. It is advised to speak with several coaches to find the right ‘fit’.
Your coach should be professional at all times and should provide clarity on pricing, cancellations, refunds etc. You should never feel forced to start working with or to continue working with a coach.
