dc.description.abstractClient readiness was identified as a variable influencing and impacting the effectiveness of coaching interventions. An understanding of different variables influencing the coaching process was highlighted as significant in the advancement of knowledge in the coaching industry. The current study was to explore factors influencing clients’ readiness for executive coaching in South Africa. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Executives and Senior Managers from corporate organisations. A narrative, qualitative analysis was used to gain meaning and understanding on the content of the data collected. Through the analysis, clients’ level of readiness as well as elements contributing to readiness were determined. According to findings of the study, readiness is defined as willingness from clients to want to make things better. This readiness is influenced by commitment, motivation to learn and change their behaviour as well as self-awareness. If a client is not willing or prepared, it was said that this influenced their eagerness and involvement towards a coaching intervention. The study further highlighted how clients are treated, acknowledged and appreciated as key components contributing towards their level of readiness. The coach, finding purpose in life as well as challenges they face as individuals were reported as additional elements of significance impacting readiness levels of clients. It can be concluded that measuring clients level of readiness together with factors contributing to this readiness is important for coaching interventions as well the development of clients.en_ZA
