Episode 34- Assessing Coaching Readiness and Coachability for the Sponsored Engagements with Clare Norman, MCC

In this insightful episode, Tijen discusses the importance of coachability assessment with guest Clare Norman, MCC. Together, they delve into the critical topic of assessing coaching readiness and coachability within organizations. They discuss the importance of proper screening before coaching to ensure it is the right intervention for a suitable purpose at the right time. The conversation highlights the role of a ‘coaching custodian’, as Clare names it, in organizations responsible for ensuring coaching readiness and maximizing the return on investment in coaching interventions. It has been observed that coaching readiness is frequently not adequately evaluated, resulting in coaches working with individuals who may not be prepared for coaching. This situation can affect the coach’s self-confidence and influence their business.


Tijen and Clare emphasize the need for a preliminary conversation with clients to gauge their motivation and readiness for coaching. They also explore the responsibilities of a coaching custodian, who may be a Talent Development Lead, Cultural Transformation Lead, or HR professional, in setting up and ensuring the success of coaching within the organization.


The episode further discusses the importance of creating space and time for coaching, the necessity of commitment from both the individual and their sponsors, and the concept of a three-way contract to support the coaching process. Tijen and Clare share their experiences and insights, providing valuable resources for further learning.
