Are you genuinely coachable?

Companies invest heavily in leaders to spur growth, innovation, and resilience. However, a vital question to ask yourself before embarking upon executive coaching is: Are you genuinely coachable?

Effective executive coaching relies heavily on the individual's active participation and based on my 27 years of experience, here are critical success traits I've consistently observed:

1. Openness to Feedback: Embrace relevant, constructive feedback even when it’s uncomfortable.
✴  Self-Reflection: Do you see feedback as an opportunity to improve?

2. Willingness to Change: Embrace new strategies and mindsets that you know will help.
✴ Self-Reflection: Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone?

3. Commitment: Dedicate time and effort to attend sessions and break through the barriers to do what you say you’ll do.
✴ Self-Reflection: Will you commit to your development and improvement?

4. Self-Awareness: Understand how to maximise strengths and address non-productive behaviour patterns.
✴ Self-Reflection: How well do you know yourself?

5. Desire for Growth: Motivated to excel as a leader and dedicated to cultivating leadership excellence within your team.
✴ Self-Reflection: What drives your desire for coaching?

6. Patience and Perseverance: Understand coaching is a marathon, not a sprint.
✴  Self-Reflection: Are you patient and do you persevere?

Executive coaching is a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth, but its success hinges on fully embracing the process. Ask yourself: Are you coachable? Embracing self-reflection is the first step toward unlocking your potential and achieving the results you want.
