Soon, CoachNet will roll out the new Online Coach Assessment. The
360-degree coach assessment – which has the ability to provide feedback
from a wide range of perspectives – is a research-based assessment
developed around CoachNet's nine core coaching competencies. Learn more
about this new tool...
Our The Online Coach Assessment is an
effective way to get quick, accurate feedback on a person's ability to
coach from four different perspectives:
Taking in the full "360-degree" range of
perspectives yields a useful, balanced snapshot of a coach's ability to
operate in nine core competency areas.
The assessment is done completely online.
Participants can take the survey in 20 minutes, enter contact information
for others who are willing to provide feedback, and when all the responses
are submitted, they’ll receive the results.
The Online Coach Assessment results consist
of how you assess yourself compared to how others assess you. All
participants receive a standard printout of scores based on the nine
coaching competency areas, which provides a quick overview of your own
rating and how other people rated you. Additionally, participants receive
a graphical representation of the feedback on an x/y axis: nine
competencies across bottom with ratings from 0 to 5 on the vertical axis.
This graph allows you to see your line and other’s lines at one glance on
an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.
The 360 assessment tool will be available to
anyone – CoachNet members and nonmembers alike. Any coach who wants an
objective assessment can go online and purchase the tool. To make this
tool accessible to as many coaches as possible – and to make it feasible
option for teams – we are keeping costs low. Our goal is to provide an
assessment tool that gives objective feedback to let coaches know how
they're doing.
To ensure the validity of its data, a
research pool of more than 200 coaches, along with their supervisors,
coaches and peers, participated in a pilot survey over a three-month
period. Here are three sample questions the test-version of the assessment
included:
-
Coach makes use of open-ended questions
(questions without yes-no answers)...response options: to a very great
extent, to a great extent, to an average extent, hardly, not at all, not
answered
-
Coach honestly identifies his/her own
areas of strength and weakness... response options: to a very great
extent, to a great extent, to an average extent, hardly, not at all, not
answered
-
Coach talks to someone about emotional,
spiritual, and physical readiness to be able to coach...response
options: to a very great extent, to a great extent, to an average
extent, hardly, not at all, not answered
The assessment tool is simple, powerful,
quick, and affordable. With only a 20-minute investment of your time, you
can take the survey and have a tool you can work with to further your own
development as a coach.
