Choose a Coach

Guidelines for Selecting a Coach

When considering the services of a business and personal coach:

  • What professional training has the coach received?
  • Did the coach successfully complete an ICF accredited coach training program?
  • Is the coach active in professional development or advanced coach training?
  • What is the coach’s level of experience and demonstrated competency?
  • CPC is the designation for graduates of the Academy’s Certified Professional Coach training program.
  • The International Coach Federation further recognizes experienced coaches as Associate Certified Coach (ACC); Professional Certified Coach (PCC); and Master Certified Coach (MCC).
  • How long has the coach been coaching? 
  • How does the coach describe his/her particular approach?  Is this style compatible with you and your desires?
  • What particular specialty area, expertise or personal experience does the coach have that is important to you?
  • How many clients does the coach have?
  • Does the coach offer referrals and/or testimonials?  Ask for them.
  • Will the coach agree to a free sample coaching session?  This can be a good way to experience the coach’s style and approach.

How to Select a Coach

Your coach is your partner as you open your personal and professional life to greater levels of success and satisfaction.

Choose the coach who is the right match for you.  Coaching is a co-created partnership; an interactive contact sport.  As you interview coaches, notice the chemistry and ask yourself, “How effectively does this person hear me? How engaged am I and is it enough to trust this person as my partner in coaching?”

Before choosing your coach, read the “Guidelines for Selecting a Coach.”  We encourage you to contact two or more coaches and choose the coach who is the right partner for you.
