In reply to Soulchaser01:
FWIW I went to a recent training lecture by Robbie Phillips at the Fort William Mountain Festival last month and was very impressed. Whether that translates to wider coaching expertise I don't know.
However, asking for recommendations online like this is pretty pointless. Most replies will be intrinsically worthless as they lack any capacity for meaningful comparison and the only people actually in a position to comment with authority won't as they are too professional to indirectly criticise anyone.
I've seen a very wide variation in coaching standards over the last few years. Generally I've been underwhelmed, but equally I've seen lots of satisfied clients, and since "the customer is always right" what do I know...
Any coach holding the Development Coach award is a good start but far more important is likely to be person rapport. An excellent relationship with a decent coach is likely to be more productive than a poor one with an excellent coach.
Finally, any coaching, especially if you haven't had any before, is likely to be productive.
