A lot of coaches will tell you that anyone can be coached. Or they will say that a good coach can coach anyone. To be blunt, I don't believe either of those statements are true.

I think there are some specific traits that a good coachee needs to have in order to be coachable. Check the list below to see if you are coachable at this time.

And, likewise, a really outstanding coach will know and admit when they aren't able to help. Due to the limitations of my training, state law, and personal interest, I don't accept everyone who wants to be my client. See the list at left to determine if you are eligible.

Coaching is not a substitute for mental health counseling

The coaching approach 
 to making transformative change
 in your life is a process that 
can heighten anxiety,
does require focused attention,
may trigger frustration or
disillusionment at times ~
all of which require that clients be
receptive to feedback, 
self-empowered and
emotionally stable.


Who I Can't or Don't Coach

Who Can Be Coached?

  • able to let go of old perspectives that don't work
  • willing to consider new thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes

  • already taking pride in being accountable to your word
  • able to whine or vent once, then move on to seek solutions
  • seek the positive side of difficulties
  • personally empowered to choose what's in your best interest
  • determined to let nothing stop you from achieving your goal, including fears, worries, resources, time, or energy
  • responsive to direction, suggestion, and intuition
  • able to be sensitive to and considerate of others needs
  • gently direct in asking for what you want, need, and prefer
