The Driven Woman

The beginning of a new year tends to be a time when business owners think about hiring a coach to help them move their business forward. At such times, most people focus on the credentials and credibility of the coach they are thinking about hiring, but in this episode, I share something even more important than that, determining whether you are even coachable.  

This episode is about coachability: how to determine if you are ready for a coach and if hiring a coach would be beneficial for you.  In my own entrepreneurial journey, I learned that being coachable is not a set-and-forget situation, but changes over time and can depend on the circumstances.  

We will dive into the three categories of coachability using my system -red light, yellow light, and green light - so you can make a truly informed decision on whether to hire a coach. Want to unlock the key to a successful coaching outcome?  Find out if you are coachable now and learn how to become more coachable if you’re not. 

"Don't fall for the magical thinking that you're going to get great results simply because you hired a coach with a hefty price tag. You get the results based on coachability, the goodness of fit, and taking action. "

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. What is coachability and how do you know if you are coachable?

2. What are red light, yellow light, and green light indicators to determine if someone is coachable?

3. What are the steps to becoming more coachable?

You already know you can only learn so much from a podcast, no matter how generously the host shares their wisdom.  Just imagine how different your business could look in 2023 can look if you get started right away.  I work with a limited number of clients at a time, so if you’re ready, don’t delay.
