Take the Coaching Readiness Test

Coaching is truly about having the willingness and openness to answer tough answers and take action steps for success. When people ask Dr. Janelle if professional coaching is right for them, she responds with two important questions: 1) Do you want to make a transformative change in your personal and/or professional life? 2) Are you ready to tap into your strengths, talents and potential, and put in the real work to make that change happen?  If they answer yes to both questions, then YES they are likely a great fit for personal and/or executive coaching.  Need a deeper test? Take our coaching readiness test.

Let’s dig a little deeper! Below is a list of self-assessment questions. It is not a scientific assessment but it does ask thoughtful questions that with honest answers, will give you a good sense of your fit and readiness to start professional coaching. Answer the following True/False questions based on your recent thoughts, experiences, or first reaction (within the last month or so).  Typically, your first response is usually the truest, so do not spend too much time searching your mind and heart for a “right” answer.
