Questions to ask before hiring a CEO coach.
-
Your coach should have walked the path you want to walk. Nobody hires a football coach that only ever “studied“ the sport.
-
If your coach is promoting their education, or their certifications from various coaching organizations, chances are they are lying to you about what they can accomplish. How the heck can they possibly know what you are going through if they have not built an organization or team before? Coaching tends to rely on weekend ‘cereal box’ certifications, heavy doses of psychology, and even unverifiable practices like ‘mindfulness’. If you could succeed using those, you already would have. They are not bad tools, just hard to measure.

“He’s really helped more than just a business development coach. He’s really a life coach and a career coach and has a good way of understanding what the problem is… I’ve worked with different coaches before and John is really different because he’s not someone who goes by the book in terms of certain road steps that are common sense. He is really able go think outside the box and brings a transformational approach.“
Testimonials
“The fact that he's worked with many CEOs, many executives, the fact that he's had life experiences, he's gone through a lot, and to bounce back and be a positive force. That says a lot about him as a person...I can't think of a better person that I could have engaged in this process.”
— Matthew Yearling
former CEO of PINC
An emotionally valuable outcome that John taught is that it's this fact of respect and being liked aren’t at odds with one another, they're not competing forces. You actually can be liked by being respected, tying them together helps me emotionally because it helps me get over the uncomfortable aspect and hold myself accountable.
I think that the delay [in hiring John] cost us a lot of money. More of a missed opportunity aspect. And so now that I basically made the change now they're basically starting to see progress. I mean, honestly, the [dollar valuable outcomes] are in the millions.

“I sat in a room of 50 entrepreneurs and watched with interest as John asked an audience member to stand in a red bucket. It was one of those moments when the anticipation in the room had everyone on alert. With some wizardry wave of his arms and a few direct requests, John shepherded that CEO into a moment of such acute clarity that she broke through years of not understanding exactly what motivated her in her business.”
