The following
is a helpful list of statements, some of which are pulled from Jeff
Kaplan's "Top 55 Things You Can Work On With Your Coach."
Read through them, answering "yes" or "no" to
each item.
- I am willing
to make the coaching process 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.
- I am ready
to do the work necessary to get me where I want to be, and I will
let the coach do the coaching.
- I look forward
to learning about both my strengths and vulnerabilities.
- I will work
to make sure my strengths are repeatable and consistent.
- I am willing
to change any self-defeating behaviors that are creating a barrier
to my success.
- I accept
responsibility for my actions and will not expect the coach to
"fix" me, because I know I'm the only one who can make
it happen.
- I have adequate
funds to pay for coaching and will not regret the fee. I view
coaching as a worthwhile investment in me, not an expense, and
I will not allow finances to be a barrier to coaching.
- I am willing
and able to be completely truthful with my coach, and I'm ready
to hear the truth from my coach even if it is uncomfortable at
first.
- I am able
to commit the time needed to make and keep scheduled coaching
appointments and to do the field work that my coach asks of me.
- I'm 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.
