The Top 10 Things
to Consider When Working With a Zenith Executive & Corporate Coach
By Tracy L. Stevens, MCC
It is important to select a coach with whom you feel very comfortable.
My recommendation is to interview at least 3 potential coaches prior to making your selection.
Ask the coach about their training as a coach. Have they graduated from an accredited Coach Training Program? If so which program?
How long have they been coaching?
Are they credentialed? If so by what organization(s)?
What leadership have they demonstrated in the profession of coaching?
What Professional Organizations are they affiliated with?
Consider the type of coach you are seeking. Do you want to work on personal issues such as personal relationships or are you focusing on business related issues, such as Team Building or Career. This may have an influence on the type of coach you will want to speak with … Personal Coach or Corporate/Business Coach.
What is the coach’s primary focus/niche?
Does the coach offer
a sample Coaching Session? If yes, request a sample. This will help you
to know if you are selecting a coach who can motivate, challenge and help
you achieve your goals.
