What is a chemistry session?
If you're looking to work with a career/life coach, most of them will give you the opportunity to book a free chemistry session or discovery call.
It is basically the call after which you decide if you will swipe right or left!
Both you and the coach use this time to determine whether you are a good fit to work together.
What are some things you should/can?ask/tell a coach during this time?
Understand what is coaching if you haven't worked with a coach before.
Most coaches will be happy to explain what is coaching (and what it's not) and some may even proactively do so.
Explain your current situation/requirement/goals:
This is again something your coach will also ask about to ensure the challenge you pose is a coachable topic.

Ask about their journey/experience/any other introductory question:
It's okay to ask your coach about their journey as a coach or even professionally otherwise.
Their approach/coaching style:
Coaching is a very unique service where different coaches can embody different styles. Make sure their style suits your expectations and way of work.
?Next steps/packages/pricing:
Of course it's okay to ask what these sessions will mean on both your pocket and your calendar! Other questions around frequency of sessions and measurement of success are common asks too.
Important note: the chemistry call is not a trial coaching session. The coach will thus not begin to coach you as you explain your situation. Since it's a short call, the idea is also not to open a can of worms we cannot close during these few minutes. It is thus exactly as the name says, a call to simply test it the chemistry between you and the coach is good enough to invest in a relationship and ensure you are both on the same page before you begin.
