Are in-person coaching sessions better than virtual ones?
With Covid-19, the entire world went online. All meetings that once happened over coffee or in conference rooms turned to virtual platforms. So, did life coaching!
Even before covid, clients from all across the world contacted life coaches in different countries and took sessions online. The effectiveness of coaching sessions is equal in person and online as long as you feel synergy with your chosen coach.
How to choose the best life coach for yourself?
We advise to reach out to atleast 3-4 life coaches and ask them for a chemistry call for about 10-15 minutes to understand and evaluate if there is a connection between you two. If the life coach feels right and you know that this life coach could help you, go for it!
How many sessions would it take to achieve our goals?
Every individual is unique and comes in with a unique set of aspirations, goals, experiences, emotions and coachability. Hence, there is no fixed session number that can help you achieve the desired outcome. While some clients experience breakthroughs in 2-3 sessions, other clients require 20-25 sessions.
It is also noticed that clients come to resolve/ address a particular concern but continue their coaching sessions for other areas of life as well because of the personal development they experience.
How much does a life coach charge?
The fee of a life coach in India could be INR 5,000 onwards going upto INR 50,000 per session, depending on the level of credentials of the coach, experience, expertise, skill set and the value they can bring to the coachee’s life.
Should one invest in a life coach?
Absolutely yes! Life coaches can help you in every aspect of your life – personal, professional or social.
What are some of the benefits of life coaching?
