10 Questions To Ask A LifeCoach Before You Hire Them
A LifeCoach is someone trained in listening and guiding people who are looking for direction in their life. A qualified lifecoach will tell you that you already have the answers; their job is simply to pull those answers out of you and help you to get on the path towards achieving your goals. The ICF (more on this later) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
For times in your life when: • You can’t seem to figure out which direction is the right direction • Or, your best abilities and your knowledge is not being put to best use • Or, you simply want to figure out the best way to compensate for your weaknesses Then, a lifecoach will be a worthwhile investment for you! Think about it! If you want an expert, you seek out an expert: you trust an accredited banker to handle your money and a M.D. for medical advice. Professional life coaches will give you professional advice. If athletes and teams benefit from coaching, you absolutely will too!
LifeCoach - Questions To Help You Find Your Ideal Coach : #1 "Are you accredited by the ICF?" ICF is an acronym for International Coach Federation. It is the largest worldwide resource for professional coaches, and as such is the best source to go through to find your lifecoach. ICF is a nonprofit organization formed by individual members-professionals who practice coaching, including Executive Coaches, Leadership Coaches, Personal Coaches, Transition Life Coaches and many more, from around the world. All professional life coaches are ICF accredited! #2 How do I know if I need a lifecoach? Have you ever reflected back upon your life and wondered, "what's next for me?" Or, maybe you’re bored (and stuck) in your current career and thinking, “there’s got to be more than this?” A lifecoach is the perfect person to come to and they will help you determine what you want and show you how to get it. #3 What can a coach do for me? Well, what do you expect? They're going to coach you on your personal and professional potential! A lifecoach starts by asking the important questions to get a clearer idea of what really matters to you, then help you build a game-plan for your ultimate success and they follow through by coaching you through the big game the whole way. #4 Does your coaching program meet my specific needs? Before designing your plan, a lifecoach will take the time to get comfortable with you and your needs. A career bound student fresh out of college is completely different than a retiring executive. Both can benefit from a little outside perspective. Asking a professional lifecoach will help you define your strengths and lead to helpful insight, revealing things you may not have considered!
#5 What are the benefits of having a plan? The road to success is filled with lots of hard work and determination, so why not pave it with a solid and well laid-out plan? How often do you start cooking without knowing the recipe? A plan will simply keep you on a grounded path in the direction you want to go. Not one person can honestly say "Hiring a lifecoach wouldn't help me." Remember, this is your future; determine what you want and go for it. Why shouldn't you really live your life and be happy?
These next 5 questions will help you find the BEST coach for YOU. #6 How many years have you been lifecoaching? #7 How many clients have you had? #8 Have you personally ever been through a life transformation? #9 Have you ever hired a lifecoach? #10 Do you offer a free consultation? Most likely you’ll know within the first 30 minutes if this person is a good fit. Being able to openly communicate is the only way to get the advice you’re seeking. Now, here's your bonus question: #11 Can I benefit from coaching even after I’ve achieved success? If it worked before why not go back for seconds? Contact your lifecoach again and let them know "You've worked wonders! I have some bigger and better ideas now, let's talk." If you’ve been successful already, the next step for you very well may be – significance! In seeking success we ask, “What do you want?” In seeking significance, we say, “How will it matter?”
