You are describing what coaching means for you, thank you for sharing this vision. - What I do not perceive is how you would recommend to select a coach except picking the one I like. A method, which is perfectly ok. At the same time, the blog offers a list of questions a client should answer for himself before making a decision in order to ensure a right decision. And I also cannot see why these seven questions are excluding or contradicting the content you are mentioning. Is it possible that you understand coaching as consulting?

True business coaching is all about unraveling the mysteries of the client by discovering their passions talents, values and self-imposed obstacles to give the client the clarity, the confidence and the motivation to develop their business on their own terms. The coach assists the clients to grow and improve as a person so the clients will take their businesses with them to the next levels. Consequently, I not only agree with No. 7 on your list, but emphasize it strongly. Clients want to find the business coach who they really connect with personally (No. 7) and who have an excellent track record for helping business owners achieve their business goals. Their clients win! Not much different than evaluating the right college athletic coach to sign with out of high school. Pick the coach you like and connect with the most, and who has a strong history of developing winning athletes and winning teams.
