A Quick Quiz: See if You’re Getting the Most From a Life/business Coach
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009Vickie Champion asked:
Are you debating back and forth whether or not to continue your coaching sessions? Would you like to make leaps and bounds but don’t really know how? Maybe you’re just stuck in a rut and don’t know which way to turn.
The easiest way to get the most from a coach is to tap into your “intuition.” Using your “intuition” which also can be defined as a “sense” or a “knowing,” you can find the perfect coach for you, make your sessions both fun and insightful and create amazing results.
To see if you are getting the most from coaching, answer these questions and total your score
MOST OF THE TIME=3 points SOMETIMES=2 points SELDOM=1 point
· I don’t feel any progress or growth.
· There is a lot of rescheduling sessions, either initiated by me or my coach.
· I find myself complaining about the costs.
· I feel beaten down after my sessions.
· I find my coach or myself multi-tasking during my session.
· My coach isn’t an observer and has investments in the direction I’m taking.
· I either don’t make time or struggle to do my homework.
· My coach argues or is defensive about his or her advice.
· I find myself relying on my coach to pull me out of a crisis.
· I don’t feel I’m really being listened too.
· I feel guilty when I don’t follow my coach’s suggestions or homework assignments.
· I try to change who “I am” to fit my coach’s formulas for success.
IF YOUR TOTAL IS:
25 to 36 Before you start feeling the coaching industry is a scam, stop your sessions! Without a doubt, there is an easier, more enjoyable way to: find out if coaching is for you, hire the perfect coach and get the results you want. Learning to use your “intuition” can free you from the pain and struggle in any situation.
19 to 24 You’re probably sensing something isn’t quite right. Either you’re ignoring the little signs, working harder to “make it happen,” are a glutton for some sort of punishment, or can’t say “no.” Learning both to recognize and then follow through on your “intuition” can give you the confidence to find or create a more favorable coaching relationship.
12 to 18 You’re well on your way. It’s quite evident you have experienced numerous benefits from using your “intuition” in choosing your coach and making the most of your sessions. Keep fine tuning your ability to listen to your “intuition” and nothing will be impossible.
