Sticky: 4 Tips For Finding The Best Coach For You

Winter comes and goes, but a quality executive coach weathers all seasons.

 

We just released the latest edition of our signature AIM® Newsletter featuring a piece on choosing an executive coach. Many of you have shared that it is not easy to find a person who ‘gets you’ from a business perspective, understands your capabilities, and has your interest in mind when offering advice. In this eNews segment, I provide tips to assist your search!

 

Choosing to work with an executive coach is more important than ever. Why? Many companies have shed the responsibility for executive development and placed the onus back on the individual, which means you.  You are responsible for managing your career.

 

Effective coaches understand what this means and can confidentially guide you through a successful career management process. But again, it is about finding the right ‘fit’.  You want a coach who will help you gain the competitive edge you need to move your career toward promotion.

 

So, consider the following steps when selecting your coach:

 

1.    Methods

2.    Style

3.    Longevity

4.    Chemistry
