How do I find a coach who fits my needs? It's important to pay attention to the chemistry and trust between you and your coach when selecting one. Therefore, I recommend scheduling a free initial consultation with a potential coach to determine if the collaboration is promising. If you have a good feeling after the initial conversation, then you've found your coach.
In Switzerland, coaching is not a protected term. To professionalize the title of coach, there has been the option to undergo training to become a Company Mentor for around 8 years, and to complete this training with the Federal Diploma of higher Education. Thus, the Company Mentor is a recognized professional designation.
If you're seeking coaching, look for a professionally trained coach or Company Mentor and Coach (Swiss Coaching Association). You can search online for coaches in your area; many coaches have their own websites or are listed in coaching directories (for example www.coaching.ch) listed. You can also inquire for recommendations from your friends or acquaintances or reach out to larger coaching organizations that can assist you in finding a suitable coach.
