      WHAT TO ASK A PROSPECTIVE COACH

      WHAT TO ASK A PROSPECTIVE COACH

      THINKING OF GETTING A COACH?  Good.  You can get better faster by learning from an expert.  Be it a book, a video, a podcast.  Only a human can...

      ... answer this question.

      The answer will instantly tell you if this relationship is gonna work out.

      After small talk, after the coach's spiel, when the conversation stalls...

      ... ask this:

      If we were meeting 3 years from now, looking back, what has to happen for you to be happy with my progress?

      Trust me, conversation is gonna stay stalled.

      Don't say a thing.

      Wait for the answer.

      Listen to what is said.

      Ask yourself...

      ... Is this the kind of person I want to have a relationship with?

      That's it.

      I've used the question many times over the years, usually when hiring somebody.  There are lots of variations.

      It works.

      Learned it from the great Dan Sullivan.
