The different profiles of the coaches!
Now that we know more or less the rates and that we have a slight idea of how to set our goals, the most difficult part comes: choosing a coach . One of the most positive aspects of Superprof and other web pages is that our coaches offer you a free first session, so that you can meet your coach and see if the action plan and the analysis that he prepares for you convinces you or not.
If you want to find a coach , you can choose the different resources in which their profiles and services are listed:
- International Coach Federation (ICF).
- Superprof.
- Spanish Association of Coaching (ASESCO).
The criteria that you can compare when you look at the profiles of the different coaches are the following:
- What training have you followed so far? Do you have a specific course? Do you have any university training?
- Professional experience: how many years have you been practicing?
- The contract he offers you: how many sessions?
- The rate: per hour, per session, per flat rate.
- What code of ethics does it follow?
- Do you have any specialization? If so, which one? Are you certified?
If we compare the profiles we have on our Superprof platform, with more than 400 face-to-face or remote professional coaches , we can take a look at the price. At a minimum, we find prices of 5 euros per hour in several cities and a maximum of 120 euros per hour in Barcelona. As we said before, the gulf that separates both rates depends on the experience, training and specialization of the coach .
If you are not over budget and your goals are not too ambitious, you can choose to choose a beginning coach to assist you at home (for example, to prepare interviews or to take stock of skills). However, if you need high-level professional development, you will probably have to invest a little more money (to, for example, change your management style, know how to convince managers and investors, etc.).
The good thing about this market is that each coach is different. In your search you will find different professional certifications and varied professional experiences . Compare and review well to find the one that best suits your goals and your situation The different profiles of the coaches!
