SO, BE SURE TO CHECK THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
- What is it I want? Getting clarity can be the first goal you can work on with a coach. When you get clear on what you wish to achieve and what would be important to you and look for that in a coach.
- What kind of coach do I need? There’s a coach for everybody out there. Business coaches, holistic, new age, kick-ass, relaxation, literary, career, bald-headed, bearded and grey-suited or healer and kaftan and crystal coaches. What would suit you and your style? I good coach is a coach with humour, experience and insight and intuitively get to the core issue quickly and effectively; skills honed after coaching for 16 years and legions of clients. I challenge and I go gently too but my agenda is to get you what you want on your terms.
- How much should I pay? All coaching is an investment in you. You also have to be prepared to invest in emotional equity and give it time and patience too. With me, you are paying for many years of expertise in coaching career professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives and start-ups, and folk serious about getting the most out of their life.
- Do I prefer structure or a more bespoke approach? I don’t use A-Z programmes. My coaching sessions are totally customised to suit your needs, your goals, and your personality. I have a fluid approach that deceptively belies a steely intention to fast-track you to your desired dream. You will feel understood (at last!), supported, and reassured you are in really safe hands while you do the work of changing your life.
- What results have they achieved with other clients? Do look at the testimonials and if need be, ask to speak to a satisfied client. On my website, you will see many testimonials from all types of people and different stages in their lives. Let the stories of their personal experience guide you and give you the confidence to proceed.
- What results have they achieved in their lives? One of the great things about being a coach is that you have to walk your talk. I have overcome a phobia of public speaking, written two books, run a half marathon (despite being sports phobic and known as “Carole the Barrel” at school), regularly been featured as an expert in the press and on TV, and have my own coaching academy too where I train other people to be world-class coaches too.
- Will the coach give me advice? In a word NO. We come from the position that you have all the great abilities within you to get to where you want to be. We help you find your key to unlock your own talent so you are powerfully able to create a life you will live not just now but forever more.
- Do I have chemistry with the coach? This is essential. You have to like and trust your coach or the process won’t work. If you feel it’s a mismatch of personality or you don’t trust them try another coach. Equally the coach may say that they don’t see the relationship being a good fit and may recommend another coach.
- Does the coach have a coach? Yes. Always. When I first graduated I hired the best coaches I could afford in order to learn from the masters. I still have a coach to help pull me up to greater levels and keep me at my best.
- What does my heart say? You should feel optimistic, thrilled, excited, and really engaged with the idea of working with this coach. Coaching is a serious business but it can also be fun, enlightening, and deeply life-changing. You should feel truly joyous to be working with the coach of your choice. It’s your life so choose the right coach to make it a truly awesome one.
