One of the highlights: “𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹.” A few notes to add based on our extensive research and work in the coachability space at Coachability Consultants, Inc.: • 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀.

Thank you for sharing this article, Ozlem! At CCI, we continue to lead the charge in both the research and application of #coachability across industries and organizations.

Here at CCI, we don't believe anyone is "uncoachable." As Ozlem Sarioglu writes, coachability is a level, not a label. Everyone can learn, everyone can grow, and everyone can reach a highly coachable level. A great read! #coachability #coaching
