Matching the right coach with the right client = higher success rates

Transparency, choice, information, personality, communication styles, chemistry, gender, values, understanding the coaching issue, expertise, clarity of purpose, are some of the components for a coach-client match made in heaven.

CoachMatching is much of an art as it is a science.
How will you know which coaches are right for your organisation, or for you?

There are quite literally thousands of coaches to choose from. Our market research suggests that the process for finding the right coach is a bit hit and miss and in general people tend to rely on referrals. Whilst a referral takes some of the anxiety out of the decision making how will you know if the coach is the right person for the organisation or the individual? Both time and money are wasted when organizations fail to invest time up front matching clients with coaches.

At CoachMatching we follow a specific structured matching process that looks at coaching objectives and expectations, and amongst other things the individuals’ personality and communication style. Having gathered this information a coach is recommended and his/her biography is sent to the potential coachee. They then connect to establish if the chemistry necessary for a productive working relationship is present. To date, out of over 75 matches, there have only been two occasions when we were asked to supply an alternative.

Our internal matchmaker says ‘having an experienced third party assist in the decision making really helps, as many coachees have no previous experience of coaching and as such do not really know what to look for’.
