Your coaching goals
An essential first step in setting up your programme is to establish your coaching goals. Goals anchor the coaching sessions and give you, your coach and the overall programme purpose and direction. Documenting your goals also helps you think more deeply about yourself and your situation and what really matters to you – what do you really want to be different at the end of your programme?
It is also important that coaching has a measurable impact. You, your coach and your organisation want the process to be a purposeful one with, as far as possible, measurable outputs. And so, before you commence your programme, we invite you to:
- Record your initial goal(s) for coaching with hoped for measures of success for you and for your organisation.
- Give yourself a 1–10 score against each goal today. In discussion with your coach, you may also be invited to ask your Sponsor for their score if appropriate. You and your coach will revisit this scoring at the end of your programme as one way of measuring progress.
- Consider four key broader factors (achievement, development, purpose and enjoyment) and how you would score yourself against each today.
Your coach will explore this document with you in your first conversation and use this as a basis for the work you set out to do together. It’s likely this conversation will result in further defining and shaping of your goals. Please send your completed draft goal document to your coach prior to your first session.
To enable TTW to measure the impact of coaching, your coach will record your goals and scores centrally on a TTW-accessed-only database. We do provide themed data and measurement data to our clients where we have sufficient volume. Confidentiality is never compromised, and anonymity is always preserved.
