A coachability index item is included as: which of the following?

• A. How willing are you to change behavior in your life
• B. How willing are you to try new things you've never done before
• C. How willing are you to do things that make you feel uncomfortable or feel a little scary
• D. How willing are you to attend social events

Answer: (C)

Coachability is about being ready to learn and adapt, especially when growth requires stepping outside your comfort zone. The item focused on doing things that feel uncomfortable or scary best captures this willingness to push beyond ease, embrace potential discomfort, and persist with guidance or new methods. That readiness to face fear or unease in service of improvement is what makes someone genuinely coachable. Other options touch on related ideas but aren’t as precise about the growth-from-discomfort aspect. Being open to changing behavior in life is broad, and while important, it doesn’t emphasize the act of moving through discomfort. Being willing to try new things speaks to novelty, not necessarily the brave stance of entering situations that feel risky or uncomfortable. Attending social events reflects sociability or social engagement more than a person’s commitment to growth through coaching.
