Is my Coach-ability high enough?

Coach-ability has to do with the ability to receive coaching and to use coaching for discovery, awareness, change and improvement.

If a person does not have high enough coach-ability, this prevents that person from being ready for and receptive to coaching. Instead they may need training, consulting, or therapy to prepare themselves for coaching.
