Coachability:
Working with What You’re Given

Work with resistance, not against it. Explore consent, readiness, hidden concerns and the moments when coaching is not the right intervention.

Readiness is a relationship, not a label

Study the chapter’s principles, then practise working with a hesitant executive. This is an original educational interpretation of the manuscript, not a reproduction.

Knowledge check

Coachability and ethical practice

Branching managerial decisions

Mark: the reluctant executive

This original scenario is adapted from the chapter’s reluctant executive example. Your eight decisions shape feedback on consent, trust, organisational pressure and appropriate referral. The score is an instructional prompt, not a measure of anyone’s actual coachability.

5G Coachability Lab

Separate evidence from assumptions. Consider the client’s capacity, willingness, engagement and the organisational context. This tool does not diagnose or categorise real people.

The 5G READY reflection

R / E

Recognise what you observed; Explore what may explain it.

A / D

Ask permission and clarify the person’s chosen agenda.

Y

Decide whether coaching fits; Yield to autonomy and boundaries.

READY is a learning prompt created for this app, not a named model in the chapter.

Reflective diagnostic

Eight coachability-supporting practices

Rate yourself from 1 (rarely) to 5 (consistently). These self-ratings are not a validated psychometric instrument. Compare them with your choices in the scenario.
