Each person has a unique way of thinking and interacting with those around them, and as your coach, it's helpful for me to get a better understanding of how you view the world in general and yourself in particular. • These are 'pondering' questions designed to stimulate your thinking and to make our work together more productive. It's helpful if you take a quiet moment to enjoy composing your responses to these questions. • Please answer each of these questions as clearly and thoughtfully as possible, expressing the best of who you are. A short answer - a couple of words or sentences are usually enough. But if you want to write more, then do. • Finally, if there are any questions you do not feel comfortable with, you don't have to answer them. But know that it is often by exploring our discomfort, that we achieve our greatest growth.
