I believe that most people are coachable, but they're not always coachable at every point in time.

Sometimes people want change (or others around them want them to change), but they may not be ready to accept changes in their beliefs, behaviours, or actions.

If that's your situation, coaching won't work, and it's better to wait until you're more open to change to try coaching. Use this short questionnaire to find out if you're currently ready to benefit from life coaching.
