Does Your Coach Truly LISTEN to you?
- A good coach will spend more time listening than talking. They want to understand YOU as a person individually.
- They won't treat you like you're part of a formula.
- They will show you that they've heard you by addressing your unique needs.
- Do you feel better and more hopeful for having spoken to them with new action to take?
Points of Caution
- Feel sold to or pitched to? RUN.
- Do you feel disrespected, judged, or talked down to? It may not be good fit.
- Does the coach have a track record of improving performance?
