There are several ways of finding a coach but before you start looking, take time to thing about:

• what you would like to achieve through engaging a coach
• what style works best for you
• whether you want your coach to be local and be able to meet face to face
• whether you are looking for a coach with specific experience or background
• what you can afford to pay

It is also useful to read the How do I Choose a Coach? briefing, which outlines another of other important issues to consider.

Ways to find a coach include:

The personal recommendation of friends or colleagues

The recommendation of your Personnel/Human Resources professional at work
