Choosing a Coaching School
Here are five key questions to ask yourself when choosing a coaching school:
1. Who do I want to coach?
Figure out whether you want to do life coaching, coaching executives, ministry coaching, career coaching, etc. Different schools focus on different things.
2. How do I learn best?
While some schools are all tele-class based (no travel required) others use workshops or even individual instruction. Some schools put much more emphasis on forming peer relationships as well. Choose a school that fits your preferred learning style.
3. What can I afford?
Business-oriented schools tend to be considerably more expensive than ministry-oriented ones. Check out the pricing!
4. Do I need help starting a business?
Some schools spend quite a bit of time on practice-building skills, while others spend almost none. Decide what you need and research what different schools offer.
5. Is this a good fit with my values?
Even the Christian coaching schools differ considerably in their values. Look for a school with business and training practices that reflect what you believe in.
From the Book, Coaching Questions by Tony Stoltzfus.
