If you answered “no” to two or more of these questions, coaching will probably not be an effective choice at this time. Once you have addressed what is holding you back from being able to answer “yes” to these questions, you will be in a better position to make the most of the coaching process.  This quiz adapted from: “Coach Yourself to Success: 101 Tips for Reaching Your Goals at Work and in Life.”  Copyright © 2000 by Talane Miedaner
