What To Look for When Hiring A Coach

October 21, 2021

One of the BEST ways to fast-track your progress is to hire a coach to make sure you not only execute, but also get the best results. But it’s not an easy decision; there are thousands of coaches out there, and you need someone who not only knows their stuff but believes in YOU. Here are 3 simple things to look for when you’re hiring a coach.

First off, what do you want to be coached on? It is essential that you be clear about your objectives before beginning the search process! For example, do you expect a business coach to be a problem solver, or a mentor? Once you answer this question, it narrows down the field of potential coaching candidates for you significantly.

Credentials are some of the most important things to look for when hiring a new coach! If you’re looking for a business coach, you wouldn’t hire someone who has never built and ran a successful business. Try to find a coach that is qualified AND has the right mindset to work with you or your team – a big mistake is hiring a coach only on the basis of reputation without making sure the fit is right.

Ask your candidate about the results they achieved with their clients. Keep in mind that money growth is just part of what type of results you’re looking for. A great business coach should create a customized roadmap and process that supports their client as they move forward on their desired path — toward the life and business of their dreams.
