How Can a Financial Coach Help? - Coaching for Financial Success in a Recession

How Can a Financial Coach Help?

According to a September 11th, 2008 article titled “Coaches to Get Consumers Finances into Shape” from Financial Advisor, writer Joan Dubar notes “Financial coaches can help get people motivated for financial planning - and keep them committed.”

With each of our Insight on Coaching shows, my goal is to highlight the important role coaches can play in so many different facets of our lives.  With the credit and mortgage crises, a recession that just keeps getting worse, a risky $70 billion bailout plan, and the worst economic crisis we’ve seen since the Great Depression, now more than ever coaches who specialize in financial planning and management can be critical in helping us. 

Kathy Jo Pollack and Gabe Graumann reinforced several of the same points the article in the Financial Advisor highlighted, and I especially liked how Kathy Jo referred to herself as an accountability partner when she works with clients.

What are some of the benefits a financial coach can provide? 

  • Accountability – and a helping hand to guide you through challenging financial decisions.
  • A plan – the development of a financial roadmap to help you meet your goals both now and in the future.
  • Peace of mind – the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ve set yourself up for success in both good and bad times.

Until next time!
