Top 7 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Life Coach

If you’re investing your time, energy, and money into personal growth, you want to make sure you’re partnering with someone who actually gets you and can guide you where you want to go.

Before you sign on the dotted line, here are 7 smart questions to ask any potential life coach:

  • What type of coaching certification or training do you have?
    (Pro tip: Look for coaches who have real, credible training — not just a good Instagram feed.)
  • What coaching methods or tools do you use?
    (You want someone with a toolkit, not just “rah-rah” motivation.)
  • What does a typical coaching session look like?
    (Transparency matters — you should know what you’re signing up for.)
  • How do you measure progress with your clients?
    (A good coach helps you create real wins — not just feel-good chats.)
  • Can you share success stories or client testimonials?
    (Proof that their approach actually works.)
  • What’s your approach to accountability?
    (You’re hiring a coach, not a cheerleader. You want someone who will lovingly call you in and up.)
  • How do you customize your coaching to fit each client’s unique needs?
    (Because one-size-fits-all coaching? Hard pass.)

Bottom line:
You deserve a life coach who’s the right fit — someone who gets your vibe, believes in your potential, and knows how to help you get there. Asking the right questions is how you make sure you’re choosing wisely.
