Client’s commitment
Client
The client’s state of self-awareness is key to this first step of the process. The degree of awareness and cognisance of cause and effect will determine the level of commitment and, indeed, the client’s readiness for coaching as well as coachability.
The awareness is at two levels – the existence of the need for change (usually present since the client is seeking coaching) and the source realisation that triggered it (the client may have become aware of frustrations or limitations in the current life paradigm). However, at a deeper level, the client may or may not be aware of the barriers and limitations inhibiting future paths to higher levels of fulfilment.
Coach
The coach has to test and acknowledge the client’s self-awareness. The next step of the process depends upon this – gauging the client’s level of commitment to the coaching process as well as coachability form the core of the coaching contract.
