Any advice on how to find a good coach?

• themodelplumber 8y ago
  Most coaches are pretty good. I feel fortunate to have met enough of them to be able to say that. They all have different models and approaches. I derive my own coaching models from personality psychology. Another coach I know uses the Co-active model. Yet another uses her own model based on athletic performance. I advise people to spend the time and actually experience the coaches they find--try it out--then reflect on how the experience went. This gets the subjective and objective concerns in the same space so you can see how things shake out. The objective concern (concern about the coach and their qualities) needs to be balanced with the subjective concern (how can I make sure I'm capable of being coached, and not undercutting myself, not shooting the messenger as a defense mechanism, etc.).

    And how do you go around finding one? I feel like Google would just be too hit-and-miss and too open to scams, etc.

      If Google seems scammy, it might be better to reach out to friends for referrals. Otherwise feel free to get in touch if I can help; I added my coaching website link to my profile.
