If you’ve landed here, you probably look like you have things together. You’re reliable. You show up. People depend on you. But maybe you’re also quietly asking: Why doesn’t this feel right anymore? Is this all there is? How do I ask for more when I’m not even sure what “more” is? You might not be in crisis, maybe just feels off, stuck, complacent. You want something else and maybe you don't even know what exactly that is. You’re looking for a coach. But coaching only works if it's the *right fit*. So here’s how to find that person. EVEN if it isn’t us. 1.⁠ ⁠Know What’s Not Working You don’t need a five-year plan. You just need to name what feels misaligned. Ask yourself: Where am I going through the motions? What do I want to feel, do, or become next? What do I want even if I feel like I can't have it, don't need it or don't deserve it? Clarity starts with honesty. 2.⁠ ⁠Find a Coach Who Hold Space For Your Kind of Stuck Are you lost or in transition? Do you need someone who’s comfortable in that space between “fine” and “fulfilled.” Do you need someone to help you make big moves, go for that promotion or set boundaries? Ask in a discovery call: “Who do you work best with? “How do you help people like me move forward?” 3.⁠ ⁠Speak to More Than One Coach Don’t skip this. It’s not disloyal, it’s wise. The right coach will feel like space, not pressure. Ask yourself: Who helped me breathe deeper? Who really heard me? Who felt like a mirror, not a megaphone? Look for Insight That Leads to Action You don’t just want to feel better. You want clarity, movement, and real change. Personally and professionally. A good coach helps you connect the emotional and the practical. 5.⁠ ⁠Trust the Green Lights ✅ Testimonials that sound like your story ✅ Clear process ✅ No-pressure conversations ✅ Real-world results, not just good vibes 🚫 Avoid coaches who sell fast, talk vague, or can’t name who they don’t work with. One Last Thing You don’t need rescuing. You need someone to help you take your next brave step with clarity and confidence. Remember that change doesn't happen in 1 meeting but moving towards it always wins over doing nothing. That’s what we do at TheNXT Coaching. But whether it’s us or someone else, we hope this helps you find the right guide for you.
