How many of these statements are true for you?

1. I am willing to make the coaching process an investment in myself, and 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 fully ready to do the work necessary to discover who I am and where I want to be, and I will let the coach do the coaching.
3. I am willing to embrace my strengths and weaknesses and to change any self-defeating behaviors that are creating a barrier to my success.
4. I accept responsibility for my actions at all time and will not expect the coach to “fix” me, because I know I’m the only one who can make it happen.
5. I view coaching as a worthwhile investment in me, NOT an “expense”, and I will not allow finances to be a barrier to the coaching.
6. I am willing to be able to be completely truthful with my coach, and I’m ready to hear the truth even if it is uncomfortable at first, knowing this will support me in living authentically.
7. Coaching is the appropriate process for the changes I want to make (as opposed to therapy or a twelve-step program).
8. I am able to make the commitment of time needed to make and keep scheduled coaching appointments, and to do any fieldwork 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. I am willing to step out of the comfort zone and to act courageously in spite of my fears.
10. This is the right time in my life for me to accept coaching. I am ready to invest my resources of time, energy, and money into the transformational process of coaching.
