What is a professional coach and how to choose one?

For many people it is still unclear what is a professional coach.

Largely because it is still complicated for many people to consider that someone can accompany you to achieve your goals.

You live in a society where everything points that you must show yourself strong to others.

Have solutions for everything that happens to you.

However, the reality is very different.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't move from where you are to get to where you would like to be.

And this is where a coach is going to score the difference.

Because a coach is a facilitator.

A consciousness raiser who gives his best so that you can get what you want to get.

But it is important that you know what it is a professional coach and what not.

Because the coach is not a solver of problems.

Nor a instructor or counselor.

A professional coach is much more than that.

It is a learning facilitator from an external position helping you to generate awareness.

Facing sometimes your fears, beliefs or limitations self-imposed.

From the respect, professionalism and non-judgment.

Creating a growth area to motivate the necessary actions to lead you to meet your goals.

What exactly is a professional coach?

A professional coach is first and foremost a person prepared and trained to take you from the current situation to the situation you want to get to.

Someone who will accompany you to grow as a person and/or professional.

Challenging your beliefs and trials.

Empowering the exploration of new paradigms and relying on your values and talents.

Hidden in some cases from you.

From the utmost secrecy a coach accompanies you from the empathy and unconditional acceptance to find your best version.

Following the ethical standardss higher.

Supporting you in everything you need during that journey of openness and creation of opportunities.

Because what is a coach is just that.

A ember blower that is able to rekindle the fire of your capabilities.

Even to put the focus on those learnings that can help you develop yourself to get what you want.

But that's just it.

You are who is responsible of change and results.

A professional coach will accompany on the way.

But you have to walk it and choose in the address and at the pace you want to go.

A professional coach will be at your side to define objectives and actions you need to get them.

How to choose a professional coach?

Choosing the right professional coach is very important.

From this success depends of your process.

To choose one look closely at the following points:

• Your experience
• The training you have
• Professional Coaching Associations to which you are a member
• The type of coaching who practices
• The testimonies from other customers

But above all it is important to your own feeling.

Because trust is a fundamental part within a coaching process.

That is why it is recommended to have an interview with the professional coach of your choice before starting the process.
