Based on the research of Dr. Robert Logan and Dr. Gary Reinecke, our Online Coach Assessment provides you with an accurate measurement of your effectiveness as a coach, and how you compare to others.
In addition to self-assessment, you can ask up to seven people to evaluate you from their perspective. Ideally, you will want to include people you are coaching (coachees), as they have the most direct experience of your coaching. You can also include a fellow coach who knows you well or even your supervisor, giving you a full 360-degree review. After receiving feedback, you will instantly receive a 20-page report with your scores, interpretation (including how you measure up against other coaches), and improvement actions.
Please see the following topics for more information about how the quality and benefits of our assessment.

Feedback. When you received your training as a coach, you probably received supervised feedback to help you unlearn old habits and learn new ones. Where is your feedback coming from now?
Pinpoint areas for improvement. Identify the specific microskill(s) where you can improve, and design a personalized plan to increase your competence in this area. For example, if you are a competitive swimmer, you need to look at all aspects of your performance. You may discover that where you are losing time is in the turns...so you can work on that dimension to improve your capacity as a swimmer. Same for coaching.
The Online Coach Assessment offers valid, research-based information about your skill level. In addition to a self-assessment we highly recommend that you get the opinions of those you are coaching and of others who have observed your coaching. The Online Assessment will incorporate feedback from as many as seven additional people (coachees, peers, and/or supervisors) offering full 360-degree capabilities.
As feedback is received, results are immediately available online to view, print or email.
Qualitative Research. Dr. Robert Logan and Dr. Gary Reinecke conducted an international qualitative research project mentored by Dr. Charles Ridley to determine the competencies of excellent Christian coaches. The nine competencies can be organized into three categories:
Foundational: Abiding in Christ, Self-assessing, Communicating
Relational: Establishing, Supporting, Concluding
Strategic: Diagnosing, Planning, Monitoring
Each competency is defined by 5-7 specific behavioral dimensions called microskills. The research results and resources for increasing your effectiveness as a coach can be found in Developing Coaching Excellence by Robert E. Logan and Gary B. Reinecke (ChurchSmart Resources, 2003).
Validity and Reliability. Building on the results of the qualitative research project, Logan and Reinecke then designed an online questionnaire to be completed by the coach and others (those being coached, peers, and/or supervisors). The questions for use in this survey were selected scientifically by conducting a reliability test (Cronbach) on the pilot data. Further tests will be conducted with new data to verify how high scores correlate with coaches' performance.
Summary. The Online Coach Assessment provides you with an accurate measurement of your overall effectiveness as a coach, pinpoints specific opportunities for improvement and gives guidance to help you design specific action plans for growth.
