How to Find the Right Coach or Mentor for Your Practice

It’s all well and good to determine you want to work with a coach or mentor to help you build your advocacy or care management practice. It’s also great to know how to choose the right person.

But where can you find these folks in the first place?

Coaching and mentoring is offered by several members of The Alliance of Professional Health Advocates You need to be a member to tap into their coaching personnel / members.
The Circle, a community of independent patient advocates, may offer some coaching or mentoring services.
If you have specific business questions about legal contracts that are valid in the state or province you live in, if you’re looking specifically for funding for your business, or if you need help on specifics like taxes, then check out the services hosted by your state’s Small Business Administration (SBA) office, or your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
You may find other advocates in other directories, or you may even find them in a discussion forum, or at a conference. If you admire their work and think they may be able to help you, ask them if they do coaching or mentoring. Then assess them against the questions that can help you make your choice.
