My Psychotherapist Why You Need to Invest in Life Coaching | Page 14

 If possible, get recommendations before settling with someone. Working with a coach who has positive references is the first step to success. You can talk to two or three people that the coach has worked with before to get a feel of his work.  Choose someone who makes you feel comfortable. Life coaching requires a great deal of opening up, and you can only do this if your coach creates a healthy and safe space for you. Before committing to life coaching, hold an initial session with the coach and determine how you feel about them. If you aren’t comfortable, find someone else to work with. Remember, the meeting should leave you feeling uplifted and fulfilled not empty and nervous.
