Situation:  One of the most difficult obstacles facing anyone is the daunting task of dealing with the estimated 25,000 to 38,000 people who call themselves life coaches.  Unfortunately, many of these people provide other services that are different from coaching, but call themselves and what they do life coaching.  Finding the right life coach for you is one of the four key conditions  in getting the most from life coaching.  Yet, it can be a confusing and frustrating task. First, there are so many choices. What do you look for? How do you gather the right information? What should you ask them? How do you evaluate the coaches for you? The time and energy you spend on this process can be frustrating and costly. Unfortunately, too many coaching clients do not find the right life coach, which becomes one of the major reasons more people have not reaped the true wonders from life coaching.

Special Note about TCC’s purpose and operating practices.
TCC was created specifically to provide you the guaranteed one stop-shopping source for finding and selecting your ideal coach, because the founder-owner Bill Dueease wanted to be sure you did not suffer the same frustrations he did.   He went through 28 coaches in six months before he found his ideal coach. Yet, he was not only an experienced business coach, but he had been the Chairman of the Membership Development Committee of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for two years at the time.

Other solutions you could use to find your coach:

1. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) online Coach Referral Service.  Go to this site and complete their online form.  Their software will select coaches to match the information you provided and will provide you a list of coaches, with their names and contact information.  You will need to pay attention to the way you answer the questions on the form, because the answers will strongly affect the choices made by the software.  Only active dues paying members of ICF who have paid an extra annual fee can be included in the list of available coaches.  The ICF does not reveal the actual number of coaches included in this group.

2. Coachville.com online list of coaches.  Go to this site and you will find the names of approximately 12,000 to 15,000 people who have listed themselves as coaches.  There appears to be no screening process for accepting people to be listed.  You will see their name,  company name, city, and state,  and a link to their web site (if available).

3. 24/7coaching.com provides an online list of coaches.  Go to this site and fill out a form and look at the information about coaches to suit your form criteria.  I believe the coaches pay an annual fee to be listed.  It is unknown how many coaches are listed.

4. Coaching school lists.  A vast majority of the approximately 190 for profit coaching schools have created web sites to list coaches who are associated with their schools.  These sites are set up in a number of ways and most require you to eventually contact the coaches directly.  Some sites require annual fees and the number of participants seems to vary considerably.  We purposely did not list school sites because we did not want to indicate favoritism towards any schools.  You can go to the Peer Resources link  and connect with all of the school web sites to review their list of coaches.

5. Surf the Internet for web sites of individual coaches or groups of coaches.  Google indicated on 2/21/06 that over 62,200,000 web pages fell within the single search phrase of “life coach,” and over 82,300,000 web pages fell within the phrase “business coach.”

6. Refer to your local Yellow Pages phone book.  Most coaches do not show up in the Yellow Pages because the yellow pages rarely have a category for coaches, and the cost to advertise can be very expensive.  This is not a good way to find life coaches.

Good luck in your quest to find the right coach for you.  We hope we have helped you make it an effective and hassle free trip.
