The Coaching Directory is the best place in the world to find just the right coach to help you reach your biggest goals in life, both professionally and personally. Whether you are in a career transition, want to find the man or woman of your dreams, find the ideal work for your personality and style, start your own business, break through the corporate glass ceiling, write a book or a screenplay, transform your life, or make more money, we will help you find the best coach.

Our Guarantee:

All of our life coaches are either:

1. Master Certified Coaches (MCC), Professional Certified Coaches (PCC) or Associate Certified Coach (ACC) as recognized by the International Coach Federation;

2. Graduates from an International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited coach training program;

3. In training at an ICF accredited coach training school.

You can search for the level of qualification you desire. There are loads of coach training schools out there. Unfortunately, most of them do not meet the rigorous industry training standards set by the ICF. In fact, most of the coaching directories out there for coaches do not require their coaches to demonstrate any kind of credentials or even coach training whatsoever. This makes it hard for you, the public, to find a properly trained and qualified life coach as any yokel can put up their listing. Not here. We only allow coaches who have professional coaching training and credentials or coaches enrolled in an accredited coach training program to be listed in The Coaching Directory. 

What Is a Life Coach?

A life coach is a partner who is most interested in one thing: your success. A life coach is neither a therapist nor a consultant — a coach provides an ongoing, supportive relationship that brings out your best in both your business and personal life.

A coach will help you gain insight to what is truly important in your life. Then, by having a partner to work with on these goals, you stay on track as you implement them. A coach is an objective partner who observes you, supports you, and identifies ways to improve your performance — giving you the edge to take yourself from ordinary to extraordinary! Coaching gives people advantages in both their business and personal lives.

A coach will work with you to:

• determine the best goals for you

• make and keep more money

• reach higher — for what you want

• make better and smarter decisions

• design and live your ideal life

• gain sustainable energy

• and much more!

What the International Coach Federation says about Coaching:

Simply put, that we humans are great, that we're all discovering what we really want and that we get can get what we want faster and easier by having a coach who's been there and who can help us. No matter where you are in life, there is always a desire for more. More success, more money, closer relationships, a deeper feeling of meaning in life, etc. It is the nature of people to want to attain more, become more, be more, and we all struggle with how to get what we're looking for.                                                                                                                                   — International Coach Federation

What the Media says about Coaching:

 

Part consultant, part motivational speaker, part therapist, and part rent-a-friend, coaches work with managers, entrepreneurs, and just plain folks, helping them define and achieve their goals — career, personal, or most often, both.                      — Newsweek

 

Coaches have the ability to view things from afar—in what some call ‘helicopter vision’—and to shed new light on difficult situations, often they can act as a sounding board through tough decisions, help sharpen skills, motivate.                                 –CFO Magazine

 

What people are saying about the benefits of coaching…

 

I’ve given up my addiction to adrenaline. Can you imagine not being late to every appointment, not speeding in rush-hour traffic, and not guzzling six cups of coffee a day? Today I’m relaxed and in control of my time and my life. — Executive Recruiter, New York

I organized my finances, calculated my net worth, hired a financial advisor, threw out a mountain of junk, redecorated my apartment, hired a reliable cleaning lady, upgraded my computer skills, and got a new job paying $20,000 more than my old one. — VP, Bear Stearns, New York

Phone coaching vs. In-person Coaching

Most coaches prefer to coach by phone. There are a number of reasons for this:

1. Efficiency. It is more efficient for both the client and the coach. You can attend your coaching call without having to commute to an office. You can be coached in your office or conference room at work, you can be coached at while at home, or even while traveling. Given that most people who hire coaches are already very busy, this time savings makes a huge difference, saving hours a month on commuting to see a coach.

2. Greater choice. When you coach in person, you are limited to the coaches who happen to live in your local area. Why limit yourself unnecessarily? What if the best coach for you happens to live in Canada and you live in Nebraska? Not a problem. 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 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!

3. Anonymity. 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 coaching is the perfect choice as you can chose a 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 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. If this is the case, select the in-person search option and your country and city for the coach nearest you in The Coaching Directory.
