Life Coach Fit Checklist

Use this checklist before you request a coach match. It helps you clarify your goal, preferred coaching format, accountability style, and practical fit details.

How to use it

Read each statement and count how many are true for you. There is no perfect score. The point is to write a better coach request and avoid picking someone based only on a broad label like career, confidence, or relationships.

1. Goal clarity

2. Coaching format

3. Fit signals

4. Practical details

What your score means

0–4 checks

You may need a little more clarity before choosing a coach. Start by writing your top goal and the problem you want help solving.

5–8 checks

You are ready to compare coach styles, but your request should include more detail about format, budget, and preferred accountability.

9–12 checks

You are ready to send a strong coach request. Include your goal, timeline, format preference, and what kind of support works best for you.

What to include in your coach request

  • • The main goal or transition you want help with.
  • • Your preferred session format and time zone.
  • • Whether you want structure, accountability, emotional support, direct strategy, or a mix.
  • • Any coach background, language, or specialty preference that matters to you.
