While there were 76 questions in each of the coaching surveys, we will concentrate in this first study on responses to only two of the questions (questions #29 and #31 in the first survey and questions #28 and #30 in the second survey):
Question One: Since you began formally working as a coach (i.e. identifying what you do as coaching):
a. How much have you changed overall as a coach?
b. How much do you regard this as progress or improvement?
c. How much do you regard this as a decline or impairment?
d. How much have you succeeded in overcoming any past limitations in your coaching skill and knowledge?
e. How much have you realized your potential as a coach?
Question Two: Overall at the PRESENT time:
a. How effective are you at co-creating the working partnership with clients?
b. How authentically personal do you feel while working with clients?
c. How good is your general theoretical understanding of coaching?
d. How empathetic are you in relating to clients with whom you have relatively little in common?
e. How effective are you in communicating your understanding and concern to your clients?
f. How much mastery do you feel you have of the techniques and strategies involved in practicing coaching?
g. How well do you understand what happens moment by moment during coaching sessions?
h. How effective are you at stimulating client insight?
i. How much precision, subtlety and finesse have you attained in your coaching work?
j. How confident do you feel in your role as a coach?
Respondents were asked to answer each of the items under each of these two questions using a five point rating scale:
0 = Not at all
1 = Slightly
2 = Somewhat
3 = Moderately
4 = Much
5 = Very Much
