What is the process of getting coached?


The process of getting coached can be a bit overwhelming if you're not familiar with it. That's why we've put together this guide to help you get started. In this article, we'll walk you through the different steps involved in getting coached and explain what each one means for your success as a content creator or business owner.

First, let's take a look at what coaching actually is:

​

Coaching is an interaction between someone who has expertise in a certain field and the individual seeking that knowledge or advice. The coach helps the person learn by providing instruction, feedback, support, and guidance throughout the learning process.

​

Now that you understand what coaching is, how does it work?

​

To start things off right, there are two main types of coaches: formal and informal. Formal coaches typically have degrees in their field of expertise (for example marketing), while informal coaches do not necessarily have specialized training but still offer valuable insights and consultations on a variety of topics related to their area of interest (for example entrepreneurship). The type of coach you choose depends on your specific needs; whether you want someone who will provide step-by-step instructions or simply listen to your thoughts and offers suggestions along the way is up to you.

​

Once you decide which type(s) of coach best suits your needs, next comes gathering information about them. This involves doing some research online (or speaking with friends who know people in need of coaching), checking out their rates

 

 

How can you find a good coach for you?


Are you looking for someone to help you achieve your goals and dreams? Are you feeling lost and struggling to figure out what direction to take next? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep problems or difficulties in relationships? Are these issues preventing you from moving forward with grace, ease and joy? If so, then coaching may be the right solution for you.

​

There are a number of benefits that come with hiring the right coach, including improved emotional well-being, increased productivity, greater life and work satisfaction, less anxiety, stress and depression, better sleep patterns and more. Coaches are experts in their field who can offer valuable advice and guidance on how to reach your goals.

Selecting the right coach or counselor can be challenging and seem overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to start.

​

There are some steps for finding the right person.

​

1.     Consider the type of help you are seeking? General guidance and counseling, help with anxiety, depression, sleep, career, relationships, etc. Then see if the coach addreeses those issues.
 

2.     Look at the education, background and experience of the coach. They will have training in one or more areas. Some may have backgrounds in psychology, psychotherapy, and counseling, business, career planning etc. They may provide general guidance, feedback, support or introduce specific exercises and techniques to growth.

A broad range of training and experience may be beneficial in many cases. On the other hand if you specifically have one clear goal in mind, such as addressing sleep problems, then a specialist in that specific are may be the best choice. Also ask for referrals from others, including your friends, family and healthcare professionals

​

3.     Once you’ve identified one or more potential coaches, reach out to them. Most will provide a free initial session or introductory telephone or Zoom session to see you match and ask any questions you have about process, techniques, availability and costs.
 

4.     And then, most importantly, be sure to take action. Move forward and make a choice. If you’re not happy with your Coach for any reason you can switch. You may find that you need someone different as you move forward, but you must decide and move forward if you’re committed to your own personal growth.

​

So if this is something that interests you, it's important to do some research first. Look into which type of coaching is best suited for your needs (e.g., personal growth coaching, life coaching, career counseling, etc.), find a provider who meets your standards (and budget!), and schedule a consultation session with them today.

​

How is coaching different from therapy?


Coaching and therapy are two different types of services that can help people achieve their goals. While they share some similarities, there are also important distinctions between the two. Here's a closer look at what each offers:

​

Therapy is typically focused on helping individuals resolve issues and improve their mental health. Often the most effective coaching combines elements of therapy to achieve the greatest progress.

​

Coaching, by contrast, focuses more on problem solving than personal development. Coaches use techniques such as counseling, team building, brainstorming, goal setting, and communication skills training to help their clients reach their objectives. The techniques used by both therapists and coaches often overlap. For example, techniques such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, ACT/C (acceptance commitment therapy/coaching), self-evaluations, visualizations, behavioral training, etc.) may be used by both.

​

Future Orientation:
Coaching focuses on the future and examines the question: “How do I grow personally and achieve my psychological and life goals?”  Therapy often focuses more on the past and tries to answer the question: “Why and how do I fix myself?” It presupposes that fixing oneself will enable your growth and happiness.
 

Creating vs. Fixing:
Coaching explores what you want to create and what you want to be and achieve. The coach may suggest specific procedures, exercises and actions that can help improve behaviors and growth. Therapy often addresses what you want to fix in order to achieve your goals, and leaves you to apply your learning for growth. Functional coaches (in your business area) may provide advice and guidance specific to your goals.
 

Partners on Growth:
In coaching, the client and coach are closer as partners in guiding insights and growth. In therapy, the therapist is recognized as the expert. A coach helps you identify life goals and how you can achieve them. A therapist determines what the problem is and supports you in repairing and achieving growth in the identified areas.
 

Agent of Change:
A coach is an agent of change, while a therapist is often more nurturing and less direct. Both are insightful, sensitive and caring listeners, but a coach can often be more direct, challenging you to expand your skills, to act on achieving your goals. The coach may use more targeted communication to help you get where you want to go. A therapist will likely be more subtle and inferential in communications, and may delve more deeply into insights by way of gaining understanding and growth.

​

There are several factors to consider when choosing which type of service is right for you: your current situation (e.g., how serious is the issue?), your personality and your comfort with the provider. Whichever option helps you reach your goals in the quickest way is bound to be beneficial.
