Coach Matching Process
Why Matching You With the Right Coach is Important
All coaching is about bringing out your best self so that your life is both successful and rewarding, personally and professionally. Coaching facilitates clarity, goal-setting, prioritization, planning, and action in a holistic way.
While certain coaching skills could be considered somewhat standard or uniform, many coaches today choose to specialize in a particular coaching “niche” that embraces their own personal interest and experience as well.
Our practice here at Center for Coaching is to match up client and coach based upon the client’s goals and objectives. For example, a coach with professional expertise in the area of career management is of particular value to a client whose objectives are career related.
Or, an executive seeking leadership or management skills would likely be served best by a coach who intimately understands the corporate environment with its practices and politics.
Placement Specialist
When a client approaches Center for Coaching, there is a complimentary consultation with a placement specialist to discuss the goals and objectives that the client desires to achieve.
From this consultation, recommendations of particular coaches are made for the client to then meet by phone. The placement specialist will be in close contact with the client during this exploratory phase to facilitate the client’s selection of a coach. Center for Coaching has a substantial selection of experienced coaches for the client to interview.
Customer Service is Job One for Us
Customer satisfaction is a priority. Our philosophy of matching up client and coach for extraordinary results follows our orientation to customer service. After a client has been matched up with a coach, we continue to be there to serve our clients with regard to any questions or coaching matters they may be concerned with.
If a particular coaching match is not working for the client, we are there to work with the client to find a solution.
