2. 1
Friendship
Builds a Mutual Relationship based on mutual respect. Look for someone who uses respectful dialogue.
This could turn into a life long friendship. Even though this begins as a business relationship, in order to
be truly effective, it generally goes beyond that phase because the coach learns as much from the
client as the client learns from the coach.

3. 2
TRUST
Not everyone in today's society has a trusted advisor they can count on. Many people have
ulterior motives when they are asked to help someone else. A great coach is someone you can
trust and has true interest in your success and reaching your self-declared goals.

4. 3
LISTEN
A great coach really understands good listening is often taken for granted. The very best
conversations and relationships involve our intentional listening- listening to learn, with a clear and
quiet mind, not just waiting for our turn to speak. Listening is a great coach's gift to their client!

5. 4
INSPIRE
A great coach helps create a vision and helps describe it. They will understand your passion and
continues to inspire you by reminding you of your original passion and purpose.

6. 5
Experience
A great coach should have years of experience and speaks your language. Their experience
should not only bring an understanding in business, but more importantly, experience with
people.

A LS
GO
Many times goals are set too low requiring minimal effort to reach them, or too high where it becomes
unrealistic to reach them. A great coach helps you set realistic goals that are achievable but requires
effort to reach them.

8. 7
MOTIVATION
What drives you? What are you looking to achieve? It’s easy to be derailed when your goals aren't reached
quickly enough. A great coach defines your goals and breaks them down into small steps so that you can
see successes along the way.

9. 8
organized
A great coach provides organization & simplification. They help order thoughts and gives a formula for
success and help develop a process to achieve whatever you want to accomplish. A great coach
customizes the process to align with your needs.

10. 9
Cha llenge
A great coach identifies challenges. Including ones that you may not even see which can prepare
you for a smoother outcome. Remember, you don't know what you don't know!

11. 10
PATH
A great coach develops solutions. They help develop a path out of the challenges at hand. A road map that
runs interference and provides a clear path to achieve your vision.

12. 11
EXPECTATIONS
A great coach is someone who helps guide expectations. They help you to understand your own
expectations which tend to be influenced many times with over optimism. Reasonable expectations with
early successes, victories and important milestones reached will take away the discouragement many find
while navigating a difficult path.

13. 12
GROWTh
A great coach ensures your growth by challenging you. They move you out of your comfort zone
with necessary steps and actions to achieve your goals and create scenarios and opportunities
for you to be well rounded.

14. 13
MEASURE
A great coach evaluates your performance. They develop a process that measures your performance.
Constantly evaluating your performance with real time feedback gives you the opportunity to learn and
trains you to solve your own challenges with a set of effective tools.

15. 14
ACCOUNTABLE
A great coach is an accountability partner. For your self-declared goals, a coach will provide constructive feedback
so that you can achieve what you set out to do. You are less likely to hold yourself fully accountable if you don't
share your goals with someone that is a trusted and objective partner.

16. 15
SUPPORT
A great coach is supportive. They are always there for support even when there
may not be anyone else that can see, believes in, or supports your vision.
