Because CoachMeFree gives qualified coaches the opportunity to conduct free discovery sessions with potential clients from all walks of life and from every corner of the world. Free discovery sessions are the most powerful way to take strangers and turn them into loyal fans who are ready, willing and excited to invest in your coaching packages.
Each client is entitled to at least one free session. You can offer as many or as few as you wish. The complimentary session(s) will give you and your prospect the opportunity to get to know one another, build rapport, set expectations for working together and decide on next steps. After the client has had their quota of free sessions, then as you are qualified, you have every right to charge for your expertise and time.
If you offer more than one free session, then you will get more clients, as the clients can see how many free sessions each coach is offering, and may make their choice on that basis. But the choice is yours.

CoachMeFree is a coaching directory where you can find trainee coaches who are offering free coaching sessions.
In simple terms, coaching is a conversation between the coach and the coachee. Coaches help the coachees discover what they want by asking powerful questions and help them achieve their goals.
Consulting is about giving advice and suggesting solutions. However, coaches do not give advice. If they did, they would be limiting their clients’ options, and potentially preventing them from seeing other opportunities.
Counseling is reactive and problem focused. Coaching is proactive and solution focused. Counseling is about the past, coaching is about where you are now and your future (goal-based).
Counseling/therapy moves a person from dysfunctional to functional. Coaching moves someone from functional to exceptional.
There are many different types of coaching and we have listed some of them below. Although most of our coaches will be able to help you make progress in many areas of your life, you may want to choose a specialist coach who is experienced in a particular field.
There are no rules. You would be completely free to make decisions about how often you would want to meet based on how you feel and your individual circumstances. As a rule of thumb plan on at least 6 sessions.
Coaching can be arranged face to face or on the phone / via Skype, Zoom, etc., depending on where you live. If you live in the same geographical area as your coach, face-to-face coaching is easy to set-up. Otherwise, you can arrange telephone coaching (or Skype, Zoom, Facebook chat, etc. coaching) if the coach is not conveniently located for you. Most of the coaching is done over the phone as it is convenient for both parties and it is very efficient.
Typically each coaching session lasts for 45 minutes to 60 minutes. Coaching sessions are scheduled weekly, every other week, intensively or whenever you need them! Most people choose weekly sessions.
Visit our directory, find a coach and contact them. If you do not know what to say to your coach, don't worry! Our coaches will help you by asking questions. Just relax and enjoy being coached.
Please visit the profile of the coach, and click on 'Review this coach', which is located under the coach's profile photo. You can then write a review by entering the email address you used when you first contacted the coach via CoachMeFree
You must have been in contact with this coach via CoachMeFree.
