3 tips on choosing the right coach for you

As a coach myself, and a marketer of 11 years, I know firsthand how important it is to find the right coach for you and your business. It can be a big investment, so it’s important to do your research and choose someone who aligns with your goals and values.

So with all that said, here are 3 tips to help you choose the right coach:​
​
​1. Look for value:
​
A good way to gauge whether a coach is right for you is if you’ve already learned something from them and they’ve already brought value to your business (for example, through their free content or through discovery calls). Their marketing messaging will also be a good guide as to what kind of coach they’ll be when working with you.
​
When it comes to choosing the right coach for you, it’s important to pay attention to their marketing messaging. This can actually give you a good idea of what kind of coach they’ll be when working with you.

Of course, it’s important to take their messaging with a grain of salt and also do your own research and due diligence before committing to a coach. But paying attention to their marketing can be a helpful starting point in the decision-making process.
​

2. Trust your instincts:
​
When it comes to choosing a coach, one of the most important things to consider is trust. You want to make sure that you feel comfortable and confident with the person you’re working with, and that they have your best interests at heart.

One way to gauge whether or not a potential coach is trustworthy is by jumping on a call with them or chatting with them in their DMs. This can give you a good sense of whether or not they’re actively listening to you, and whether they’re someone you feel comfortable opening up to.

It’s also important to do your research and look at testimonials from past clients. Seeing what others have said about their experiences with the coach can give you valuable insights into whether or not they’re a good fit for you.

Ultimately, trusting your instincts is key when it comes to choosing a coach. You want to work with someone who you feel confident in, and who you know will support you on your journey towards success.

3. Find alignment:
​
It’s important to choose a coach whose values align with yours and whom you actually like. After all, you’re going to be spending a fair amount of time communicating with your coach, and you might be having some open, honest, and vulnerable conversations with them. Ask yourself, is this someone you would like supporting you in your business? Establishing this rapport is so important.
​
So, take the time to think about whether your potential coach aligns with your values and whether you genuinely like them. Trust your instincts and listen to your gut – it’s so important when it comes to choosing a coach that’s right for you.
​

Remember, it’s all about finding someone who aligns with your goals and values, AND who can help you take your business to the next level.
