How to get started with Coaching at Inner Coaching

How to know if you are ready to get started with coaching

Coaching is a very challenging and intense process, and is for people who are ready and serious about making changes in their lives. To work out if coaching is for you, you need to identify if now is the right time, if you really want and are ready for the transformational change coaching will bring, and if your coachability is high enough.

Am I ready for Coaching?

You are ready for coaching if you have had enough of things not working as you want them to, and of not achieving your best. If you are willing to do whatever it takes to make the necessary changes, to ask yourself the hard questions, and take responsibility for your life, then you are ready for coaching. Read more here.

Is my Coachability high enough?

Coachability has to do with the ability to receive coaching and to use coaching for discovery, awareness, change and improvement. If a person’s coachability is not high enough, 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.
