First and foremost, you’ll want to choose a certified credentialed coach that belongs to the International Coach Federation (ICF), which is the most recognized certifying body for life coaches.

Second, you’ll want to ask them how much experience they have. Also, ask if they have any other degrees or experience in related fields. All of this plays into the differences between a bad, a good, and a great coach.
