How to choose the best coach for me
Although it is important to get a business coach earlier on in your business career and there are numerous benefits, it may not be as easy task. There are now so many companies that claim to be able to help you in various ways
So, which business coach do you choose?
They say your future is forged in the moment you make an impactful decision. Deciding on the best business coach for you can be a pivotal moment. I understand this dilemma very well. Early in our careers, we decided to have a business coach to help us springboard to success. Having owned multiple dental practices, we too wanted help in organising our businesses to create profits.

What knowledge or experience do they have in doing the same things you want to achieve, too?
Do you have a personality match?
How genuinely personal is the service?
How easy or difficult will it be for you to achieve your goals?
Do they have the complete package?
Can you get a return on your investment?
Here is a checklist of some further aspects that you should evaluate when deciding to hire a coach:
FAQ 1 – How motivational and inspirational is the coach?
Answer: A great coach inspires action, drives team unity, and encourages both individual and collective productivity. Without inspiration, even the best strategies won’t be implemented effectively.
FAQ 2 – How transparent and genuine is the coach?
Answer: Trust is built on honesty. A coach who is genuine and open with you will establish a strong, reliable partnership where you can confidently share challenges and work toward growth together.
FAQ 3 – Does the coaching provide solutions that balance work and personal life?
Answer: Success should not come at the expense of your well-being. Effective coaching provides strategies that foster harmony, balance, and fulfilment—helping you establish a rewarding practice without personal sacrifice.
FAQ 4 – Will you receive personal attention from the coach?
Answer: One-size-fits-all approaches rarely work. While group sessions may introduce applicable concepts, real impact requires individualised attention tailored to your unique goals and practice needs.
FAQ 5 – How accessible and hands-on is the leading coach?
Answer: Many programs delegate to associates, but true transformation comes from direct access to the lead coach. Hands-on guidance ensures impactful, one-to-one coaching.
FAQ 6 – Is the coaching approach too rigid or too flexible?
Answer: Rigid, cookie-cutter methods limit growth. Effective coaching is tailored, adaptive, and designed to evolve with your practice, helping you reach your full potential.
FAQ 7 – Does the coach have dental and clinical experience?
Answer: A coach with real-world dental practice and clinical knowledge understands your challenges deeply and can create practical, relatable solutions—something non-dentist coaches may miss.
FAQ 8 – Will the strategies align with your passions and team dynamics?
Answer: Coaching should be tailored to the type of dentistry you love and involve your team. Otherwise, you risk a profitable but unrewarding practice with disengaged staff.
FAQ 9 – Are the strategies practical or too focused on data and complexity?
Answer: Over-analysis, KPIs, or excessive micro-focus can waste time and energy. Simplicity, clarity, and actionable steps deliver better results than overwhelming charts or metrics.
FAQ 10 – Is there a strong emphasis on team development and training?
Answer: For strategies to succeed, the entire team must be trained and aligned. A coach who empowers your staff at all levels ensures smoother implementation and sustained success.
FAQ 11 – Does the coach focus on strengths or weaknesses?
Answer: Building on strengths and unique selling points creates greater long-term growth. Weaknesses should be managed strategically, but should not dominate the coaching approach.
FAQ 12 – Does the coach offer proven, time-tested strategies?
Answer: Experience matters. Coaches who have “been there, done that” provide reassurance and strategies that have already been tested in real-world practices, ensuring return on investment.
FAQ 13 – Is the coaching strategic and results-driven, not just tactical or entertaining?
Answer: While a likeable coach is great, results matter most. Coaching should move beyond short-term tactics and entertaining sessions to deliver long-term strategy, growth, and measurable success.
