In order to get the most out of coaching, the following items are
recommended:
1. Trust your coach’s abilities (try a sample session first)
2. Trust your coach’s confidentiality
3. See coaching as a collaborative process – you’ll be an active participant
4. Set clear, measurable goals
5. Follow through with your commitments
6. Be open, honest and vulnerable. Share your challenges, fears and aspirations.
7. Treat each session as a priority
8. If something isn’t working, share that with your coach
9. Be willing to pivot your goals based on your experience
Different coaches have different styles and approaches. Find a coach you resonate with, who’s sensitive to your issues, and who listens well.
Remember, coaching is about you; it’s not about the coach.
Coaching can be very effective over a short period of time. And perhaps the
most important ingredient is trust and chemistry between client and coach.
