10 Irritants of Getting a Coach
Why people shy away from hiring a coach!!
The following information is provided by Big Fat Happiness, a coaching resource bent on creating a different kind of journey for people who have been frustrated by various coaching models. Here are some of the major irritants we found in the pursuit of a coaching relationship and how we attack them.
1. Finding the coach. Who is right for me? Often a very difficult selection process with so many coaches out there and so many different credentials.
2. Paying up front and or in full for an unknown commodity. Really?
3. Often there is no money back guarantee. How is that right?
4. When asked to learn basically a new language that the coach is pushing.
5. When coaching becomes too formatted. The coach or the coach’s ideas become the focus of the coaching instead of me.
6. The required contract for time to work together is too long.
7. Costly. Can’t afford the help I truly need. Sometimes this is about the coach’s ego.
8. Inflexible appointment times. When they are limited and or too few.
9. When the coaching doesn’t start with where I am or care about the deeper personality and values driving my behavior.
10. When its time to quit coaching for any number of reasons and I can’t figure out how to stop it gracefully.
Here is how Big Fat Happiness gets rid of most of these irritants so coaching works.
1. While you still have to find us, you can try us for free as in a consultation or for as little as roughly $50.00 bucks to see if what we do when we coach you for you. Of course you can also read the testimonies of our clients for free.
2. You don’t pay for more than you want. you can get a coach whenever using our NOW Coaching product with no ongoing commitment. You can purchase our ACTION Coaching which for a monthly fee you have practically unlimited coaching. You decide.
3. Big Fat Happiness offers a free consultation and money back guarantee if you are not fully satisfied. With our ongoing monthly ACTION Coaching there is a full refund on any unused $$.
4. We start with You. You are the subject. There is no material to learn, no reformatting we need to do with you. There is no particular plan of ours which you have to follow. We design what you need and want and deliver it to you in the way it makes sense to you.
5. You can experience our coaching and decide for yourself before you spend your cash. We only want to partner with you if it makes sense for all involved.
6. We have a simple short contract that is more about agreeing to what BFH will deliver to you than to bind you to us. It is a motivational tool more than a legal agreement.
7. If you need a little support you can buy a little if you need a lot of support you can purchase the unlimited.
8. You schedule the appoint the way it best works for you. You need every other week, every day, once a month, consistently the same time or variety we will accommodate.
9. We bring years of experience working with individuals from a coaching and psychotherapy perspective and can make referrals as needed to other professionals.
10. Just tell us “I’m finished” and we will wrap things up.
