Are You Ready for Coaching?

Answer “yes” or “no” to these ten statements if you’re thinking about getting a coach:

1.	I look at the coaching process as an investment in myself. I view it as a long-term approach to creating changes in my life. I am not looking for a quick fix.
2.	I am ready to do the work necessary to get me where I want to be, and I am open to being coached.
3.	I am willing to replace attitudes and behaviors that are creating a barrier to my success.
4.	I accept responsibility for my actions and will not expect the coach to “fix” me. I know I’m the only one who can make change happen.
5.	I have adequate funds to pay for coaching. I view coaching as a worthwhile investment in me, not an expense. I will not allow finances to be a barrier to coaching.
6.	I am willing and able to be completely truthful with my coach, and I’m ready to hear the truth even if it is uncomfortable.
7.	Coaching is the appropriate process for the changes I want to make (as opposed to therapy or a 12-step program).
8.	I am able to commit the time needed to make and keep scheduled coaching appointments and to do the field work my coach asks of me.
9.	I am open to trying new things when my coach asks me, even if they aren’t completely comfortable or I’m not convinced they will make a difference.
10.	This is the right time in my life for me to accept coaching.

Now score yourself. If you answered “no” to two or more questions, you will need to make some adjustments, either in your lifestyle or in your expectations of coaching, before coaching will be fully effective.
