6 Steps to Finding the Right Life Coach

Now that you’re familiar with the Wayfinder archetype—and perhaps feel you may be a Wayfinder yourself—let’s explore how to find the right life coach for you.

1. Identify Your Needs and Goals

Before searching for a coach, take some time to reflect on what you hope to achieve through coaching. Are you looking to improve your career, relationships, or personal growth? Understanding your goals will help you find a coach whose expertise and life experience aligns with your needs.

2. Research Different Coaching Styles

Life coaching encompasses various styles and methodologies. Wayfinder Life Coaching, for example, integrates principles from psychology, neuroscience, and intuitive practices. It’s essential to research and understand different coaching styles to find one that resonates with you.

3. Evaluate Credentials and Experience

When considering a coach, evaluate their credentials and experience. A certified Wayfinder Life Coach has completed 211 hours of ICF Level 2 accredited coach training, including real-world coaching hours and a rigorous review process. This ensures they have the skills and knowledge to guide you effectively.

4. Use the Wayfinder Life Coach Directory

To find a certified Wayfinder Life Coach, you can use the interactive Wayfinder Life Coach Directory. This directory allows you to search for coaches based on their location and their specialties, such as career coaching, personal growth, or spiritual development. You can explore the profiles of various coaches to find one that matches your needs.

5. Schedule a Consultation

Many coaches offer a free initial consultation. Use this opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions, and get a feel for their coaching style. This consultation will help you determine if the coach is a good fit for you.

6. Trust Your Intuition

All of us were born with inner compasses that can guide us to the decisions that are best for us. Trust your intuition when selecting a coach. If you feel a connection and ease with a coach, it’s likely a good match. Coaching is a collaborative process, and feeling comfortable with your coach is crucial for success.

Why Work with a Wayfinder Life Coach?

Wayfinder Life Coaches are trained to help you discover and align with your internal compasses so you can follow your own “North Star.” Our coaching style emphasizes authenticity, creativity, and transformation, helping you navigate toward happiness and success in your own life while learning to coach others to do the same.

Wayfinder Life Coaches use Martha Beck’s transformational “Change Cycle” model to help you uncover the obstacles holding you, so you can move toward your unique destiny.

This means we don’t simply forge ahead and set goals. Instead, we focus on helping you listen to your “inner pull” before setting goals and continuously listening as you take inspired action to achieve them. This approach aligns with the natural way we humans are designed to navigate the world.
