What is a personal coach?
A personal coach is someone who works with individuals to help them get where they want to go more quickly and easily than they might on their own. Ideally she or he has been trained, and preferably certified, by an accredited coach training organization. The focus may be on business success, personal growth, clarifying goals, on reaching a specific goal, on giving honest and objective feedback–whatever it is will be decided by both client and coach together. There are many aspects to personal coaching and all of them, in essence, relate to the individual even if the goal(s) relate to business situations. Most coaches work by phone or in person, with each client having several coaching sessions per month.
