How to use the self-rating Diagnostic Checklist.
Since completing the checklist will undoubtedly require some time, the
self-rating Diagnosis can be performed by the coachee as a homework
or assignment, and be finetuned after evaluation by the coach.
It is easy to do and involves three steps:
Ask coachee too:
1. consider the questions for each of the techniques (they may want to
write down their thoughts to help them arrive at a self-rating)
2. ask coachee to give themselves a rating from 0 (a major weakness) to
10 (a major strength).
3. once they have completed the self-ratings for all the techniques,
transfer them onto the overall summary sheet.
This is not a test and there are no right or wrong answers, just self
opinions. Raising their self awareness in this way will boost their self
improvement on many levels, including the meaning of their
circumstances, what they are doing and how to make life better
(identified by Viktor Frankl as key elements of motivation and survival
in his amazing book, "Man's Search for Meaning").
Coachees should be honest with themselves in this self diagnosis to
create the best self improvement and change opportunities.
1. Your self-image and self esteem:
* what is the most important statement you can make about yourself?
* how would you describe yourself to another?
* what do you think and feel about yourself?
* how well do you like, respect and value yourself?
Rate yourself from 0 (major weakness) to 10 (major strength)
Capture any immediate thoughts that occur from this self diagnosis in
terms of your self help self improvement opportunities for change.
