Once and whilst you choose a coach it is important to be clear about the contract between you.
- What do the costs include?
- Who pays if the coach travels to you?
- How long are sessions?
- Is VAT included?
- What happens if you want to cancel?
Make sure you do it properly.
Make sure, also, that you review your sessions. A good coach should ask you for feedback at the end of, and during, sessions. If you are not happy with how it’s going, tell the coach and review how useful the sessions and coach are. You may even decide to change your coach or to try different coaches at different times of your career or for different issues.
