As a coach, it's important for me to understand how you view the world in general and yourself in particular. Each person has a unique way of thinking and a unique way of interacting with those around him or her. Answer each of these questions as clearly and thoughtfully as possible, expressing the best of who you are. These are "pondering" questions designed to stimulate your thinking in a particular way that will make our work together even more productive. I suggest that you take several days to compose your responses to these questions. Thank you.
