Why would anybody pay money to a coach? (Or a consultant)
Of course, this question is asked all the time. People wonder why should I spend money to hear from a coach, when I can just Google the information or watch YouTube videos?
The short answer is, Google and YouTube don’t ask questions. Well, at least they don’t ask the right questions. A coach or consultant can listen to what you are wanting to accomplish, and can observe the challenges, and “help” reveal the solution to you, through a learned questioning process.
The reason, that I put the word “help” in quotation marks, is because the coach or consultant does not have the answer. The answer is actually within yourself. The coach knows how to ask you the right questions so that the answer will be revealed within your own awareness or consciousness.
A good coach, knows how to ask the right questions and how to structure those questions so that it brings out that answer to bring you enlightenment.
I have a bit of a struggle with the plethora of self proclaimed coaches that are on the Internet these days. The mass majority of these self proclaimed coaches, have little to no training, and just call themselves a coach, so they can earn a living claiming to help people.
There are business coaches, career coaches, financial coaches, relationship coaches, health and wellness coaches, and spiritual coaches. Blah, blah, blah, blah — blah. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Back in earlier days, there used to be certification for coaches, and people could depend on getting some quality assistance.
Nowadays, there are self proclaimed coaches and consultants, that create their own certification course, so they can grow their team of underlings.
My bottom line comment is do your due diligence, and be very, very, very picky as to who you select to be your coach.
