Answer: Here are some strategies to help you choose a relationship coach on this website:
• First, narrow your search to “Singles” if you are not currently in a relationship, or “Couples” if you are currently in a relationship.• If you wish to work with a coach in your local area, search by location.
• If you ‘re willing to work by telephone (highly recommended) your choices expand greatly.
• All coaches specialize, so search for a coach with expertise in your particular situation.
• When visiting the coach websites, be sure to open the “About Us” page and contact the coaches that resonate for you.
• Contact at least three coaches and ask them for a free “Strategy Session.” Hire the one that you have the best rapport with, that inspires your confidence that they can help you.
• Ask for references and follow through by talking with real clients who have achieved results working with the coaches you’re attracted to.
- How can I be sure I’m hiring an ethical and qualified coach?
Answer: We have personal experience with each of the coaches on this website, but in general here are some guidelines to avoid unqualified and unethical coaches:
1. Do not hire a coach with no discernible coaching credentials. Be sure to verify their credentials by visiting the web sites and contacting the training programs they claim to have trained with and professional associations they claim to be a member.
2. Do an internet search to learn more about them. What do other people say about them? What have they published? What else have they accomplished? A credible, professional coach should be easy to check out on the internet.
3. Ask for references. Credible coaches will have many happy clients that will enthusiastically share about their experience with them. Don’t buy claims of “confidentiality” as this is not therapy or other service that might prohibit this practice.
4. If they publish testimonials and/or endorsements, follow up and contact those people to verify.
5. Interview several coaches. Shop around and find someone you feel good about who has solid references, credentials, and a good track record of helping people like you.
6. The easiest way to tell a Professional Coach from an UN-professional coach is their approach to giving advice. Just as you can’t successfully build a house or a business or a relationship from reading a book on the subject, telling people what they should do just doesn’t work. Information and answers alone are not effective. The Professional Coach believes that you the client are the expert and the best source for your solutions, and will empower you to identify and implement the choices most effective for you. UN-professional coaches believe they know what you should do and that your job is to listen and follow their directions.
7. Use your common sense and trust your gut. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
