Coaching is a straight-forward process, but it can be challenging, which is why you will want to consider partnering with a trained and experienced coach. If you want to create a partnership with a professional coach, consider the following:

• Experience: How long has the person been a coach? What kinds of people or organizations has he or she worked with before? Can you get referrals? Ask the coach to describe an ideal client and see how you compare.
• Certification: Is the coach certified through the International Coach Federation or an ICF accredited school? Many people are calling themselves coaches today with no formal education in the field.
• Connection: How do you feel about this person? Is this someone you can grow to trust? How good is your communication? What is the quality of your connection?
• Location: Interestingly, your coach does not need to be nearby. Most professional coaching is done by phone and with phone rates so low, it pays to find the right coach no matter when he or she may be.
