How to find & hire a coach

Coaches partner with you to make professional and personal changes. You've come to the right place to find someone to walk with you on that journey.

Whether you're looking for an executive, life, leadership, relationship or career coach, you'll find many skilled coaches among our chapter members. Even if you don't know what type of coach to pick, our extensive selection of expert coaches can help you achieve your goals.

ICF recommends that you consider the following when you select a coach:
  • Define your objectives for working with a coach.
  • Interview three coaches before you decide on one. Ask them about their experience, qualifications, skills, and ask for at least two references.
  • Remember, coaching is an important relationship. There should be a connection between you and the coach that "feels" right to you.
