This is the right time for me to work with a coach.

I am fully willing to do the work involved to achieve my goals.

I am motivated to make changes and will follow through with the commitments I make to my coach.

I can be relied on to be on time for calls and appointments.

I have adequate funds for coaching and will not regret or second-guess the investment. I see coaching as an investment in my life that I am fully willing to make.

I am willing to try new ideas and ways of doing things.

I will be honest and open with my coach.

If I feel I am not getting what I want, need or expect from my coach, I will address this as soon as possible and ask for what I need from the relationship.

I see coaching as something to integrate in my life and commit to doing the work involved to make sure I get full benefit from the experience.

If I feel unable or am unwilling to do what my coach asks of me, I will discuss this honestly and openly.

I am excited about working with a coach. I do not see the need for coaching as a negative in any way.

I will work hard to eliminate any self-defeating behaviors that may block me from reaching my goals.

I believe I am capable of having the life I desire.

I am completely accountable for the results I produce.

I do not whine, complain or make excuses. Instead I look for reasons, explanations and creative ways to remove obstacles from my path.

I am not looking to my coach to give me a cure for laziness or lack of initiative.  I am hiring a coach because I want to achieve certain things, not because I have a vague sense that it would be good for me.

I know I may have to learn to crawl before I can run and understand that working on my personal foundation and clearing unfinished business will be important to building a solid future.

I am strongly committed to personal development.

I view coaching calls as an opportunity to work deeply on issues in my life, not as “chats” with a friend for hire. I expect to come away from the call having gained at least one insight and to have at least one significant action I will make as a result of the session.

I am able to bounce back from setbacks. 

I understand life is an experiment and welcome my coach as a fellow researcher who will help me evaluate the results of my experimentation.  I do not think in terms of success or failure but rather progress, learning and personal evolution.
