Definition:
A person who is coachable not only responds well when given feedback, they ask for feedback. They view the input from others as a valuable tool in their development. They also are willing to take actions and make personal changes based on the feedback. Coachability is not a technical skill or an inherent ability. It is a mental attitude. It is defined by your ability to be coached. It is also defined by your motivation to adapt and to improve.

How To Maximize Your Coaching Results:

Why Journal?
Tasks guide individuals and partners to reflect on and capture more ‘ah-ha!’ breakthroughs. By journaling, you’ll also train important life skills like reflection, accountability, goal setting, and critical thinking.
