3 Qualities Of Coaching Clients That Guarantee Massive Results.

"My Most Favorite Clients: The Super Coachable Ones"

My most favorite clients to work with are super coachable.

As a result of their coachability, they experience results that are surprising and inspiring—both to them and to me.

And while coaching IS absolutely for everyone, not everyone experiences exceptional results. The outcome of coaching, whether inspiring or disappointing, ultimately depends on YOU, the client.

Not the coach.

The Key Role of the Client

Why? Because the real work is done outside of the session. Results come from action. Your coach isn’t your babysitter or your personal assistant. They are your cheerleader and your challenger. At times, they can be your therapist or your guide. (Or, as one of my clients refers to me: Navi, the fairy guide in Zelda.)

Your coach is not a tugboat pulling your heavy weight across the ocean because you “can’t” do it yourself. They are the lighthouse when you’re lost at sea. But ultimately, it’s up to you to get your boat to shore.

So, if you want massive results, true transformation, and to realize your dreams, you’ve made one of the most powerful self-investments of your life by hiring a coach. It’s wise to ensure you’re up to the task of being coached.

The Importance of Being Coachable

Being coachable means more than just accepting guidance. It requires a mindset and a commitment to growth. When you are open to feedback and willing to put in the effort, the rewards can be transformative.

3 Qualities of Coaching Clients That Guarantee Massive Results

Here are the top three qualities exhibited by the most coachable clients. These characteristics allow them to maximize the results of their coaching investment.

1. Curiosity

The most coachable clients approach everything with an open mind and heart. They embody a playful, child-like wonder throughout the learning and exploratory process.

Working with a coach is a self-discovery journey. It’s important to explore without judgment to compassionately understand who you’ve been and why, as well as everything that is limiting your Becoming.

Remaining curious about the gap between who you are at the beginning of your coaching journey and who you can become at your highest potential is key to expanding Self. Curiosity requires choosing self-compassion over self-criticism and non-attachment instead of over-identification.

2. Self-Responsibility

Highly coachable clients don’t merely try; they take action. They recognize that their life experience is their responsibility and they choose integrity over complacency, victimhood, blame, and excuses.

They understand that wisdom is knowledge put into experience. They follow through, recognizing that the real work is done outside of the session. It's about integrating what is discovered in the coaching sessions.

These clients understand that the results are 100% on them—not the coach. They use the coaching sessions for extracting clarity and as accountability deadlines. Ultimately, it’s up to them to evolve and achieve their goals.

3. Growth Mindset

Clients who exhibit high coachability value growth alongside self-awareness. They celebrate mistakes as learning opportunities on their growth journey. They comprehend that the process requires unlearning old habits to create space for personal evolution.

However, they don’t let their ego limit their potential or restrict their goals. Instead, they allow their heart to guide them with inspirational intentions. This tendency encourages them to embody their next level of self.

Their growth mindset is intrinsically inspired—they aren’t leveling up to appease others or because society, family, or culture tells them they “should.” They genuinely desire to learn and expand their human experience in alignment with their highest potential.

Conclusion: Your Journey Awaits

Whether you’re about to embark on a coaching journey or you’ve been working with a coach for some time (but feel disappointed by a lack of progress), I invite you to reflect on what you’re bringing to the table.

The results you desire? They are up to YOU and how curious and self-responsible you can be while guided by a coach on your growth journey.

If you’re looking for a life coach, always start with a discovery call to ensure you’re investing in the right coach for you.
