   I moderate an online group for women called Open Arms Life School for Women. I am also a life coach, so you can click on my pic and I can help you out with whatever’s bothering you.
   Finding a coach is only the first step, however. Since the relationship between coach and client is of an intimate and ongoing nature, clients may want to interview several coaches to find the one that is right for their specific needs and personality style. Ask the coach if s/he is a member of the ICF, where s/he went to school, and what accreditations or certifications s/he has. Most importantly, ask about the coach’s experience – there are many outstanding coaches who have not gone through an ICF-certified program but have years of experience that uniquely qualify them as coaches.
   Getting the Most from a Coaching Relationship
   The degree of success of a coaching relationship depends largely on the client; finding a qualified coach is only part of the equation. Successful clients prepare for their coaching experiences in advance. They show up ready to explore all possibilities. They are open and receptive to the coaching, and understand that powerful coaching can come from anything around them. Successful clients listen with an open heart and mind. They are open and truthful with their coaches (it is better to disclose too much than too little), and they speak up about concerns or questions they may have. And they see that holding the coaching relationship as a critical factor in their success can impact how effective they are being in their lives.
