Coaching is a $2.85 BILLION dollar industry, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. In fact, between 2015 and 2019, the number of professional coaches increased by 33% - and the industry is continuing to grow, which means that understanding how to “be a coach” isn’t enough - you need to be a great coach, so today, I’m going to help you understand the differences between “good” and “great” coaching. 

And, not surprisingly, that starts with owning what you do not know. Having a healthy level of curiosity is incredibly important as a coach, especially for financial coaches. Admitting that you have a knowledge gap - or that a question is beyond the scope of your agreement - will not only help you to maintain your client’s trust, it also shows them that you’re willing to learn alongside them. 

Additionally, it’s important to focus on your client’s thoughts and feelings, not your own - which will help the client to make decisions that are important to them as you support their growth and development of better money management.
