Coach-ability and the Desire to Coach Others
Coaches generally have high emotional intelligence: they're good at understanding and relating to people, and they're interested in people.
To be coachable you need to be able to show empathy, vulnerability, possess strong communication and questioning skills, be able to listen and be patient.
Providing feedback, being tactful and diplomatic are also key assets when it comes to both being a coach and being coachable.
