When you finish the matching survey, you’ll usually have a few coaches to choose from. They’re all qualified, so the decision comes down to fit. Everything below is visible on each coach’s match card and on their full profile (open it with More about).

What to consider

Focus areas

Make sure what you want to work on lines up with what the coach does. The card shows Works with roles like… and a short bio; the full profile breaks this down into Industry Specialties and Functional Specialties. Pick a coach whose focus matches your goal, whether that’s leadership, a career move, or a specific skill.

Experience and background

Look at how long they’ve coached, the industries they’ve worked in, and the companies under Worked at. The full profile includes their Work History. A coach who has lived your context - your industry, your kind of role, or the challenge you’re facing - can connect faster.

Credentials

The profile lists a coach’s certifications and credentials, and verified coaches show a badge. Formal training (for example an ICF credential) is a good signal if that matters to you.

Ratings and reviews

Each coach shows an average star rating, and their profile has written reviews from past clients. Read a few - they tell you how someone actually experiences working with the coach, not just their resume.

Their intro video

Most coaches have a short intro video on their profile. It’s the quickest way to get a sense of someone’s style, energy, and communication before you commit.

Session length and credits

The card shows the session lengths a coach offers and how many credits each costs. Choose something that fits the time you want to invest and the credits you have available.

Trust the fit, and stay flexible

  • Book an intro session. The best signal is a real conversation. Use a first session to gauge rapport and whether the coach’s style works for you.
  • You’re not locked in. You can work with more than one coach, and you can rerun the matching survey anytime to see other options. If a coach isn’t the right fit after a session or two, switch.
