ADD COACHABILITY INDEX
How Coachable Are You?
Rate the following statements from 1 to 5 {with 5 being
"more true" and 1 being "less true"}:
1. This is the right time for me to
accept coaching. I have handled (or am handling) my psychological issues and am
ready, willing and able to be coached to take the actions I will need to take
to develop the systems I will need to live the life I am committed to leading.
{ }
2. I realize that there are no "magic
bullets" and that the only answers for me are within myself. I rely on others
(including my Coach) for feedback, information and guidance, not for answers. I
am fully willing to do the work and let the coach do the coaching.{ }
3. I can be relied upon to do the work
to set up the systems to allow me to be on time for calls and appointments, do
my homework and to handle my coaching fees responsibly. { }
4. I fully intend to do the things I say
I am going to do. Those times when distractibility gets in the way I can be
counted on to "clean it up" and implement new systems to keep myself on track
in the future. I keep my word without struggling or sabotaging - and don't beat
myself up when I "oops".{ }
5. I will give my Coach the benefit of
the doubt and "try on" new concepts or different ways of doing things. At the
same time, I will honestly examine and report the difficulties I encounter so
that my Coach and I can refine these new ways so that they work the way "I"
work. { }
6. I will speak straight (tell the
whole truth) to my Coach. I realize that my job is to take care of myself and
that it is not necessary to take care of my Coach. I trust that my Coach will
have the skills to guide me gently to where I need to go if I am inappropriate
- without making me feel bad in the process. I don't have to sugarcoat my truth
for my Coach or worry about how I will be perceived.{ } Volga river cruises
7. If I feel that I am not getting what
I need or expect from my Coach, I will share this as soon as I sense it and
make requests to get what I want and need from the relationship. I will not
complain, beat around the bush or hedge. I will make as clear a request for
what I need as I am able, and will take the coaching to learn to language
change requests powerfully in a charge-neutral way. { } 3D model design. Amazing 3d modeling service site. Product design.
8. I am willing to stop or change the
self-defeating behaviors which limit my success. I realize that it will take a
while to develop the new habits that I will need to live powerfully with ADD -
and I will make a conscious effort to do the work to make the changes in my
life until the new habits take hold. { }
9. I am someone who can share credit for
my success with my Coach without feeling that I somehow cheated by not doing it
alone. { }
10. I see coaching as a worthwhile
investment in my life. I have prioritized my finances so that I have adequate
funds to pay for coaching and will not regret or suffer about the fee. { }
TOTAL SCORE { } In order for the magic
of coaching to work you need to be at the place in life where you are
coachable: most family of origin issues and conflicts resolved, ready to
experience success without struggle, and have room in your schedule to give
priority focus to your coaching appointments, preparation time and coaching
assignments.
This test helps us both determine how coachable you are
right now.
SCORING KEY:
10 - 20 Not Coachable right now: Come
back to coaching when you've spent some time with a counselor or therapist to
handled some developmental issues, or ask if your coach offers Pre-coaching
Readiness Development support.
21 - 30 Coachable: but make sure ground
rules/boundaries are honored and you spend extra time working on your own
growth.
31 - 40 Easily Coachable: spend time
working on key shifts and distinctions to raise your score and take fuller
advantage of your coaching.
41 - 50 Extremely Coachable: ask your
coach to request a lot from you- but make sure you don't fall into the "Perfect
Client" trap. Be sure to your coach know when life homework is too heavy for
you to handle without feeling pressured. |
