Self-Assessment of Coaching Readiness

Coaching can be transformative, but it is most effective when approached with the right level of preparation. This self-assessment is designed to help you determine whether this is the optimal time in your life and career to engage in coaching. Reflect on each statement and assess your current level of readiness, from low to high.

Evaluate your agreement with the following statements:

• I am confident that I will derive significant value from coaching.

• I am motivated and ready to make changes that support my personal and professional growth.

• I am open to building a collaborative and trusting relationship with my coach.

• I am willing to engage in honest and transparent conversations.

• I see value in exploring different perspectives and ways of thinking.

• I am open to constructive feedback that supports my growth.

• I am willing to experiment with new behaviors and approaches to serve my development.

• I am ready to invest time in coaching and participate in exercises or tasks between sessions.

• I am committed to following the plan that my coach and I develop together.

Reflect and Consider

After evaluating your readiness, think about your overall capacity to be coached:

• How would you assess your potential as a coaching client?

• Is there anything that needs to change for you to be more prepared for coaching?

If so, this could be an interesting topic to explore with your coach as the first step in your coaching journey.
