1.    We consider coaching to be a partnership. If you are looking for someone to tell you what to do, that’s not us. As your coach, we help you see that you have the resources, knowledge and skills you need to deal with the situation including having the confidence and courage to take action, learn and change. 

In order to do that and obtain the necessary level of clarity we ask questions.  There is no right or wrong answer.  Your responsibility is to give thoughtful replies and the best and most honest answers you can. Are you willing to do that? 

2.    One of the important responsibilities of a High-Performer Coach is to help clients be aware when they do not do what they say they are going to do. Politely challenging and asking questions so we understand why you do not keep commitments, take agreed-upon action steps, or practice new behaviors or skills is key for you to get to where you want to go.  

     Is this acceptable to you? 

3.    Although receiving feedback is not always easy, High-Performance Coaching requires us to provide both positive and constructive feedback.  Some people find positive feedback just as challenging as constructive feedback. 

     BTW...You will hear us use the phrase, “opportunity for improvement” since that’s the language that allows us to most effectively take in and consider constructive feedback.

    Are you willing to receive well-meaning feedback? 

4.    We are strategic and deep thinkers who often ask clarifying questions about areas you have not considered and may not even know are relevant.   The ability to grow and learn are the building blocks of improving and peak performance. Are you someone who likes learning and getting better at what you do? 

5. Are you someone who is willing to course-correct and take action to fulfill your goals and dreams?
