The hardest challenge
is to be yourself in a world
where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.

Choosing a Coach

Finding a Good Coach

There are many types of coaches out in the world today. Some are good and some are not. Since coaching has become the hottest new job trend, unfortunately it has attracted those who think that merely going through a coaching course or program will give them what it takes to be a really good coach. It also has attracted people who just need a job and think becoming a coach sounds like a good idea.

They may call themselves Life Coach, Personal Coach, Professional Coach, Performance Coach, Success Coach, etc. Unfortunately, many have neither the life experience nor the intangible criteria that make for a good coach.

What Makes a Good Coach?

		Active listener			Integrity
		Authenticity			Intuition
		Confidentiality			Possibility Thinker
		Extensive experience coaching/counseling			“Walking the talk”
		Successful results commensurate with life experience

Dwell not on the past.
Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind.
Nothing really matters
except what you do now
in this instant of time.
