GCM Get to Know You Form
Connecting with Your New Mentee/Coachee
My wife, Christine, recently took on three new coaching clients, which has inspired us to update our “Get to Know You Form,” which mentors and coaches can send clients to fill out and return before their first session together. Such a tool helps build rapport so that the mentor/coach doesn’t have to start her relationship off with the client blindly. It also helps her start to get a feel for what strengths, passions, or fears the client may have.
The questions are listed below. If you would like a fully-formatted version, please clink on this link and you will find it on that page under “Available Downloads” as “GCM Get to Know You Form”.
