Am I Coachable?

Is coaching for everyone? Yes and no. Although I believe anyone can benefit from coaching (and there is a growing body of scientific evidence to support that), you may or may not be ready at this particular moment in your life. And because coaching is a two-way street, if you are not ready for coaching, then you are not coachable until you decide you are ready. This quick and fun quiz should help you answer that question. And remember, it measures your current attitude, right here and right now. Attitudes change! Feel free to come back and check your coachability again.

Answer each question based on what is true for you RIGHT NOW.

I already know about personal development / life coaching:

Not much; I thought coaching was for sports...

Yea, I know about it: it’s all woo woo and kumbaya!

I know someone who goes to a coach and seems to like it.

I’ve been coached before with good results.

I’ve been coached before but that didn’t get me anywhere far.

If I were to hire a coach, I would expect that coach to:

Nothing! If I get a psychological problem I might go to a shrink; otherwise I’ll figure things out on my own.

To help me sort things out and decide what I want and figure out how to get there.

To give me tips and good advice on what to do in different areas - family, work, business, health, etc.

To help me get past hurts that have been holding me back for years.

Who is responsible for the results and outcomes when it comes to reaching the goals I set for coaching?

Me, myself and I, 100%

I am 25% and the coach 75%

50/50

If I hire someone, I expect them to do the work. Would you hire a driver who takes a full payment and then stops the car midway and tells you to walk the rest of the route? I don’t think so.

Areas of life I could use help with from a coach (check all that apply):

I am fine the way I am, thanks!

Life balance

Personal relationships

Business success

Work relationships

Financials

Health and Wellness

Life fulfillment and satisfaction

Fun and enjoyment

For any or all of the areas in the previous question, how ready am I to take concrete action right now?

Was ready yesterday! When do we start?

I might have a few questions

I need to talk to my dog about it first

Thanks, but not yet

I can accomplish all these life goals and more just as fast on my own without help

You bet I can! I don’t need anyone to tell me what to do.

I might need some guidance every now and then.

Not sure but it would be nice to have someone to talk to and bounce ideas off.

I’d really like a supportive partner who’d celebrate my accomplishments with me and hold me accountable for reaching the goals I set for myself!

I have blind spots (habits, beliefs and attitudes that are holding me back and that I am not aware of until someone points them out)

Blind spots are for cars

I can’t think of any but I imagine everyone has them

I know I have blind spots, and I am always grateful when others help me find them and expand my awareness

I am optimistic about my future

Nah, not really. The best days are long gone.

Perhaps. I’ll believe it when I see it.

The best is yet to come!

How big of a chance this will be said about me someday: “Most people lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with their song still in them?"

Yep, that’s me. That’ll be the epitaph on my tombstone, and nothing will change that.

I don’t want that to happen but I am afraid those words might turn out to be prophetic…

I’ll do whatever it takes to sing my entire song and share it with the world!

I see myself investing in coaching:

Nothing - I can get all sorts of coaching for free from friends and family.

Some of my entertainment budget or pocket change after all other bills are paid.

A significant amount - I might forgo a vacation to hire a good coach.

Whatever it takes to create the life I want - even if my friends’ jaws drop if they ever find out! (But they won’t).

What is one thing in life I am stuck with or want changed or improved the most?
