The document is a coachability index that consists of 10 statements for the reader to rate themselves on from 1 to 5 points. It instructs the reader to add up their total points for each column and then add the column totals together for a final score. The scoring key at the bottom indicates that a final score between 10-20 points means the reader is not very coachable right now, 21-30 points means coachable if ground rules are followed, 31-40 points means coachable if goals are revisited, and 42-50 points means very coachable and the coach should demand a lot from the reader.

I can be relied upon to be on time for calls and appointments.
This is the right time for me to take advantage of career
coaching.
I am fully willing to do the work and let the coach do the
coaching.
I keep my word without struggling or sabotaging.
I’ll give my coach the benefit of the doubt and “try on” new
concepts or different ways of doing things.
I will speak straight (tell the whole truth) to the coach.
I believe that partnering with a competent coach can expedite
results.
If I feel I am not getting what I need or expect from the
coach, I will share this as soon as I sense it so that I get what
I want and need.
I am willing to stop or change self-defeating behaviors that
limit my success.
I have adequate funds to pay for career coaching and will not
regret or suffer about the investment. I see coaching as a
worthwhile investment in my career.
= [Total of all columns]
In the last (blank) row, add the points from each column for a total column score (column 1 scores = 1
point each; column 2 scores = 2 points each; etc.); then add each column total for a final score.
Scoring Key:
10 – 20 points Not coachable right now
21 – 30 points Coachable, but make sure ground rules are honored
31 – 40 points Coachable: revisit your goals frequently to stay focused and motivated
42 – 50 points Very Coachable: ask the coach to demand a lot from you
