Guide to Coaching Consultants
Expert coaching that helps your small business
Expert coaching services let small business owners gain some balance in their lives. Running a company of any size is hard work and can stretch you to the edge of sanity. As the decision maker you're responsible for setting goals, hiring and motivating employees and marketing services to clients. It can be difficult to manage all these tasks on your own, and no matter how much you love what you do it can become repetitive, boring and frustrating.
Gaining assistance from coaching and consulting services lets you interact with an expert who can help you to set goals for taking your business to the next level. For those just starting out and unsure of how to get a business off the ground coaching experts can assist you too.
Not all coaches offer the same services to small businesses. Choose a coach with the experience and resources that can best assist your business. Here are the top criteria for choosing coaches or running a business coaching business:
1. Look for online local coaching consulting companies
2. Examine expertise of the coaching consultant
3. Preview coaching services before your buy, if at all possible

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Gain hands on expertise with coaching specialists
Face-to-face coaching consulting offers a coach who can visit your office and see your daily operation. However, it lacks the convenience and scheduling opportunities of virtual business coaching. Virtual coaching allows a flexible experience with the use of chat, email or video.
I recommend:
Search with the Coach Referral Service from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and contact small business coaches offering CyberCoaching. Test yourself with this quiz from Passion for Business to determine if you're ready for a small business coaching consultant.
Check coaching consultants' credentials and references
Specialized business coaches can bring in their own experiences and contacts to diagnose business problems. Accredited coaches have completed professional training and must meet ethical standards, however, experienced business coaches with years of experience may lack accreditation. Regardless of their training, coaches should be eager to provide references.
I recommend:
Use this assessment questionnaire by Clear Direction to determine the type of coaching best suited for you or your employees. Sign up employees for group coaching from A Better Workplace.
Look for coaching consulting services that offer a trial period or free session
Professional coaches go the extra mile to ensure you're comfortable with their style and service. Most coaching consultants are able to provide a complimentary or free session, while virtual coaching usually features low-cost options.
I recommend:
Sign up for a free sample email coaching and consulting course from Professional Strategies. Visit The Growth Coach for flexible low-priced email based business coaching.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Most coaching programs last for at least 3 months; you and your coach should discuss your goals to agree on a length of time and total fee.
- Consider coaching vs. consulting services. Consultants are experts that diagnose then fix a problem. Coaches offer long-term assistance and aid you to create your own solutions.
- Some coaches offer money-back guarantees if unsatisfied with their services during the first month.
