If we truly want to improve ourselves and grow, we must stop to evaluate our performance or pace of growth.

Sometimes we can get by with simply thinking of on our drive home or as we fall asleep but if we truly care about improving in an area, we should follow a path of evaluation.

That path can mold and change as it goes but I’m using the below questions to evaluate my effectiveness and performance after each coaching session or team development workshop I run. It will change within the next month but for now it’s useful.

Rate 1-5 (1 being poorly done, 5 being excellently done)

1. I knew when we needed to stop and work on something specific, before we continued with the agenda I had planned?
2. Did my client learn today? Was there an ‘aha’ moment?
3. I was able to keep my client on track
4. I was able to help my client produce truths and solutions
5. I was at a loss for words
6. Did I control the process or did the process control me?
7. Did I conclude by summarizing the key points of the meeting and setting expectations for the next one?
8. Did I give the client all I could?
9. Did I talk too much?
10. Free Form Question and rating: How well did I do? What could I have done differently?

These questions are my take on the Sherpa Guide: Process Driven Executive Coaching.
