How to Hire a Business or Life Coach
Mar 04, 2022There are many reasons why a business owner or sales executive would want to hire a Business or Life Coach.
The top reasons include:
- To make key decisions and design strategies
- To prioritize actions and projects
- To catch up and get ahead of the business
- To achieve maximum work performance without sacrificing relationships or health
- To create healthy habits that align with your values while limiting overwhelm or burnout
If any of these reasons ring true for you, here are some questions you may want to ask before hiring your own coach.
- What are their training and certification? Anyone can call themselves a coach. Ask about their certification and length of training. Does it align with what you are looking for guidance on? The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is considered the industry gold standard. ICF coaches are committed to regular training and have ethical standards that they abide by.
- What methodology do they use in their coaching program? What tools will you learn? What is the process you will go through? How often will you meet?
- What is their experience and area of expertise? Who do they normally work with?
- What kind of value do you get for your investment of time and money? While coaches cannot guarantee specific results, it is important to understand the value for your buck. Do you want to increase sales, lose weight, and learn how to get more done in your day? What are your expectations for yourself and the coach? How will you know coaching is successful?
- How will they help you execute and keep you accountable to yourself?
- Are they a good fit? How will they challenge you? The right coach brings out your best, consistently.
