Personal Change Conversation Coach

Answer one question at a time about a change you're weighing. At the end, a coach reads it all back and gives you your own reasons in your own words, an honest read on whether you're ready, and the smallest first step.

Question 1 of 8
On:

Help me understand — what makes you think it might be time for this change?

Talk about what you're noticing right now. What's making you consider it?

Question 2 of 8
On:

What's the best thing that could happen if you made this change? And the worst?

Both sides matter. The pull toward it and the fear of it.

Question 3 of 8
On:

What have you tried before to make this change? What worked, what didn't?

No shame here. Past attempts are data, not failures.

Question 4 of 8
On:

On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that you can make this change now? What would it take to move you up one number?

Even a small bump in confidence has a reason behind it. Name it.

Question 5 of 8
On:

If you decided to make this change, what would you actually have to do to make it happen?

Concrete steps. What does day one look like?

Question 6 of 8
On:

When would you be most likely to start?

A real day. A real window. Not "someday."

Question 7 of 8
On:

What's different about this time compared to before?

Something has changed — your circumstances, your readiness, your reasons. What is it?

Question 8 of 8
On:

What do you want to do next?

Not the whole plan — just the very next step. The smallest thing that moves you forward.

Your answers, in your own words

Re-read these when you feel the pull to give up or the urge to start. The coach's read above is built entirely from them.
