\"ASSESSMENT_TOOLS_IN_COACHING\"<\/a>Interesting dilemma: coaches do not assess or diagnose.\u00a0 So how do assessments fit with coaching<\/a>?\u00a0 Sometimes coaches also serve as a consultant or as someone certified in an assessment tool.\u00a0 Sometimes coaches have a list of websites where assessments are available.\u00a0 Other times coaches develop a series of questions or ranking tools to use with clients so that they assess them self.\u00a0 Whichever source, the idea of an assessment as a tool is clearer understanding and awareness.<\/p>\n

There are a multitude of options for assessments.\u00a0 A quick search online pulls up hundreds \u2013 here are a few examples of websites with assessment tools:<\/p>\n

Coaching a client through assessing and prioritizing their own skills is an option and one way of working with the information is a simple table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Highly specialized and detailed assessments<\/a> often require training to administer and review.\u00a0 As a coach, it may make sense to be certified in one or more for use with your clients.\u00a0 (Be sure to differentiate the assessment from the coaching.)\u00a0 Alternatively, having a partner that does the assessment and then you do the coaching works well.<\/p>\n

Whether accessing readily available assessments, those requiring training, partnering, or coaching for a client to self assess, these tools provide awareness and insight.\u00a0 This in turn supports client planning and success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
