Personal Coaching With Don Clarkson

CLIENT INTERVIEW

As your coach, it's important for me to know how you view yourself in the world, what may be unique in your thinking, and how you interact with others.

Please answer the following as thoughtfully as possible.  Take some time to ponder if needed.  If you are uncomfortable with a question, move on and come back to it later, or leave it blank entirely.

1. What accomplishments or measurable events must occur during your lifetime so that you will consider your life to have been satisfying and well-lived?  A life with few regrets.

2. What accomplishments or measurable events must occur this next year for you to consider your year satisfying and well-lived?

3. If there were a secret passion in your life...  something almost too delicious to tell, or too impossible to realize...  what would that be? (Remember all information is confidential.)

4. If you were living the lifestyle you would really want, what would that look like?

5. If you could devote your life to one pursuit, without consideration of such issues as money, education, obligations to others, what would that be?

6. What, if anything, is missing in your life, the presence of which would make your life more fulfilling?

7. What are your physical goals at this time?  I.E.  What do you want for and from your body?

8. What were your physical goals in adolescence?

9. If you had a five year goal and you had the continuing services of a Coach to help you make it happen, and money was not an issue, what would that goal be?  What difference would working with a coach make?

10. If you trusted your Coach enough to tell him honestly how best to communicate with you, how far to push you, and how to obtain the best results from you, what tips would you give him?

11. Have you ever been evaluated by a standard test or measurement that could be useful in our work together?  I.E. ADHD/ADD testing; psychological evaluation; workplace testing, etc.

12. What else would you like your Coach to know about you?  Are there any questions you would like to be asked?

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?.”
