What should I look for in a Life Coach?

Here are some ideas.

• The coach should have training specific to the profession of life coaching from an entity that is appropriately accredited by the International Coach Federation, International Association of Coaching, European Mentoring and Coaching Council, or the Center for Credentialing and Education.
• The coach should have professional and/or life experience in area(s) where you need help.
• There should be good personal connection or “fit.” This can be explored through an initial consultation, which many coaches offer free of charge.
