Coaching Self-Assessment Coachability Worksheet Set

Asking for feedback and then explaining why it's wrong. Nodding through the review and changing nothing after it. Most of us do one or the other more often than we'd admit, and the people around us notice well before we do.

The set treats coachability as a door. Locks keep it shut, from resistance to feedback to ego, which the sheet defines as believing you already know best. Keys open it, starting with openness to feedback and what the sheet calls humble confidence. There are thirty of each, listed and explained on two cheat sheets.

What you do with it

1. Pick the three to five locks that sound uncomfortably familiar, and the same number of keys
2. Rate how open your door is today, from one to ten
3. Choose two keys to work on over the next week

The least coachable people tend to score their door wide open, so if your number looks generous, ask someone who works with you to score it as well.

If you coach, it's a good early tool for clients who were sent rather than came, since how someone takes feedback is a conversation you'll have eventually. The Coaches Starter Library licence covers using it with every client you see.
