Where This Tool Helps

Most people entering coaching have more to work with than they realize. The problem is not a shortage of strengths — it is the habit of discounting them so automatically that they never make it into a conversation about growth. This assessment works against that habit by asking you to locate your strengths through concrete evidence rather than abstract self-description.

The two sections move from inventory to reflection. The first asks you to list specifics: things you do well, challenges you have cleared, moments when you showed up for others. These are the building blocks. The second section asks you to look at those specifics from a different angle — through the lens of what others see in you, what you would value in someone else, and what you consistently underestimate in yourself.

The gap between those two views is often exactly where the most useful coaching material lives.

How to Use This Assessment

  1. Complete the “My Strengths and Qualities” section first. Use short phrases — this is an inventory, not an essay. Fill all eight prompts, even the ones that feel awkward. Those are often the most informative.
  2. Set the first section aside before moving to “Positive Qualities Record.” Answer each question as honestly as you can, including the ones that ask you to consider how others perceive you.
  3. Notice where you had more to write than you expected — and where you stalled. Both are information.
  4. Before your next coaching session, read both sections together and identify one strength that appears in multiple places. That repetition is signal.

Before Your Next Session

Read both sections of the assessment together before your next coaching conversation. These questions are designed to surface what the data reveals when you look at it as a whole.

Which strength shows up in both sections? What does it tell you that you keep evidence of it in two different forms?

Which prompt did you leave blank or fill in last? What was the resistance?
