How to Find the Right Life Coach For You
Most life coaches prefer to coach by phone. There are a number of reasons for this:
- It is more efficient for both the client and the life coach. You can attend your life coaching call without having to commute to an office. You can be life coached in your office or conference room at work, you can be life coached while at home, or even while traveling. Given that most people who hire life coaches are already very busy, this time savings makes a huge difference, saving hours a month on commuting to see a personal coach.
- Greater choice. When you have private life coach in person, you are limited to the life life coaches who happen to live in your local area. Why limit yourself unnecessarily? What if the best personal life coach for you happens to live in Canada and you live in Nebraska? Not a problem. Private life coaches are experienced in managing the time differences and will work with you to find a mutually agreeable time. The most important thing is to have the right life coach, regardless of geography. I’ve personally coached people all over the world and done it all by phone. So don’t limit yourself or your options!
- In our experience, people tend to open up more quickly when they are on the phone. Some people feel uncomfortable with the thought of bumping into their life coach at the supermarket. If you do, then phone private life coaching is the perfect choice as you can chose a life coach outside your geographic area. Some people finds this gives them the freedom to really tell the truth about their life and what is going on. Also, your life coach will keep your conversations confidential.
In-person life coaching is appropriate for people who might be hard of hearing or have some disability that requires an in-person meeting. Or, you might just prefer the personal face-to-face aspect of in-person coaching.
