A Chemistry Consultation in Professional Coaching is a free introductory and informational meeting that takes place between the person considering coaching and the coach.

As coaches, we highly value the Chemistry Consultation. This meeting allows both parties to get to know each other before the coaching process begins and form an idea about whether they will be compatible. The “chemistry” between the coach and the person receiving coaching is crucial for a high-quality coaching relationship and, therefore, a successful coaching experience.

In addition to the introduction, we provide detailed information about professional coaching in this meeting. Personally, I prefer to start by explaining what coaching is not. After emphasizing that it is neither mentorship nor therapy, I believe it helps us clarify what professional coaching is and how the process progresses.

This short meeting, lasting up to half an hour, is very important for the person receiving coaching to decide whether they are in the right place. It helps them answer questions like, “Will coaching services meet my needs?”, “Will I be able to open up to this person honestly during the sessions? Do I feel safe and comfortable with them? Or should I choose another coach?”

When deciding which professional coach to work with, I recommend paying attention to factors such as the coach’s training, accreditation, and experience, as well as whether your energy aligns with theirs. Because above all, trust and closeness are prerequisites for an effective coaching relationship. Choosing a coach with whom you can easily open up and build a good relationship will support you much more in progressing toward your goals.

You can take the first step toward your goals today by having a free chemistry consultation with a suitable waytogo coach and start your coaching journey immediately.
