Is Your Coach Worth the Money?
How to tell the ones who will move your team from the ones who'll just make you feel better.

How do you know if your coach is worth the money?
The coaching market rewards feeling better, not being better. Both leave the session energised. Only one changes what the team does on Monday. We go through the questions that separate them, and the answers that should end the call.
You leave with the mentor versus coach versus advisor self-test, three questions, so you buy the one you need rather than the one with the best landing page.
Why this talk, not a generic version of it
Run by someone who sells coaching and mentoring for a living, and it still argues most of the market rewards feeling better over being better. Both leave a session energized. Only one changes what the team does on Monday.
Built for CTOs and founders about to sign a coaching contract who want the questions that separate the two before the invoice arrives. The close is the same three-question mentor-versus-coach-versus-advisor self-test, so the room buys what it needs instead of whichever landing page pitched hardest.
