Types of Coaches

Types of Coaches As Ive studied the coach thing, there are three things that are consistent.   A great coaching relationship will: 1. be based on true principles.   If a coach teaches fad junk stuff then you are off to a bad start.   I think 95% of the coaches will teach the true principles. 2.  provide accountability.   This is key even the greatest athletes have coaches that hold them accountable, and (usually) they recognize the value in this relationship. 3.   have tools to facilitate the relationship.   Obviously the tools include e-mail, phone, etc. but I think that JibberJobber is an EXCELLENT tool to greatly enhance a coaching relationship (have you seen the coaching features?) Heres a great article on different types of coaches, specifically types of career coaches.   I didnt realize there were so many!   You gotta read this article to see the definitions if you want a coach it will be very valuable to understand these differences. The breakdown is as follows: Career  Planning Coaches Career  Development Coaches Career  Management Coaches Career  Transition Coaches One size doesnt fit all, eh?
