One of the most important challenges for any organisation that wants to foster a coaching culture is ‘Do our people think effectively and help others to think effectively?’ Answering this question is now easier than ever with the Coaching Conversations assessment tool.

Coaching Conversations is an online multiple choice assessment that measures an individual’s ability to judge 21 real-life coaching opportunities and decide on the most appropriate ways of handling them. Answers are benchmarked against behaviours that underpin successful coaching conversations using Go M.A. D.® as a coaching framework. An individual’s responses are then compared with a set of ideal answers generated by experts and a normative group, to produce a detailed report that provides an overall score, three contextual scores for coaching individuals, teams and self, plus seven scores relating to the application of the Go M.A.D. key principles. A comprehensive set of suggested actions and tips for improvement are included.

• Support with developing an organisational coaching culture

• Clearly identifying learning needs before attending Go M.A.D. Thinking training
