When to Hire a Coach
People hire coaches for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes, the best time to hire a coach is when things are going well.
Here are three common reasons people reach out for coaching:
1. Things Are Going Well—and You Want Them to Go Even Better
You’re not stuck. You’re not lost. You’re doing fine.
And you know there’s more.
You’re ready for a new level of success, growth, or clarity. Maybe you want to improve your leadership skills, take your business to the next level, or create a more fulfilling life outside of work.
This is where coaching can shine. It’s about building momentum and creating a future that’s even better than your present.
2. Things Aren’t Going Well—and You Want That to Change
Maybe you’re burned out. Perhaps you’re stuck in a pattern that’s no longer working. Or maybe you’ve been trying to make a change for a while, and nothing seems to stick.
Coaching helps you get clear, break through mental and emotional blocks, and create a plan that works.
You don’t have to stay in the loop of frustration or trial and error. A coach can help you shift faster and with more direction.
3. You’re in a Transition—and You Want Support Along the Way
Transitions can be tricky. They can feel exciting, overwhelming, uncertain, or all of the above.
You might be changing careers, starting something new, ending something old, or just navigating a season of life that feels unfamiliar.
Coaching helps you move through transition with intention so you don’t just land somewhere by default. You move with clarity and confidence toward something you want.
The 4 Requisites for Change
The process is the same regardless of where you’re starting from—momentum, stuckness, or transition.
Desired and lasting change requires four key elements:
✅ Release Work – Letting go of what’s no longer serving you. That might mean clearing out fear, doubt, emotional baggage, or limiting beliefs.
✅ Creating a Compelling Future – Drafting a clear, motivating vision that pulls you forward (instead of just running from what you don’t want).
✅ Taking Action – Creating strategies and habits that align with the life or business you’re building.
✅ Maintaining Focus – Staying consistent and on track, especially when life gets busy or distractions arise.
Here’s how it fits together:
🔹 When I work with clients, a Breakthrough Session or Creating an Empowered Life (a virtual event) is where we do the release work and create that compelling future.
🔹 Ongoing Coaching is designed to help you take action, stay focused, and keep growing.
That’s the system. And it works—whether things are good, bad, or uncertain.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to wait for a breakdown to start creating a breakthrough.
Coaching can help when life is off-track and when it’s right on the edge of becoming even better.
Ask yourself:
Do I want more clarity, direction, or momentum?
Am I holding onto something I’m ready to release?
Is it time to finally move forward on purpose?
Coaching might be your next step if any of those land with you.
