How to Choose a Life Coach
Choosing a life coach is equally as important as the training itself. The individual you
select for this process will determine the success of the coaching. Therefore, it is essential
to take time to research and find the right professional for the task.
First, remember that coaching can be done one-on-one or virtually through video calls and
other digital means. Therefore, determine the style that best suits you. Some people would
prefer face-to-face meetings while others would be more comfortable with virtual meetings.
After choosing your style, have the following in mind when selecting the best life coach:
 Choose what you want the sessions to focus on. Do you need coaching on money and
career issues or do you need advice on personal matters? You can have both, but let
your coach know so that they can come up with an ideal program.
 Find a coach whose style and philosophy resonate with you. People have different
approaches to issues. Don’t find someone whose opinions will always conflict with
your beliefs.
