The Brightway
Compass
A comprehensive self-assessment for your work with your coach. You'll reflect on where you are right now, what energizes and drains you, your readiness for change, what you value, how you work best, and which directions are worth exploring next.
Where you're starting from
Write a sentence or two for each. First thoughts are usually the honest ones.
How you're arriving
Before we look outward, let's check where you're starting from. These questions help your coach understand your current headspace, not just your interests.
These help your coach understand your natural working style. There's no right answer.
Your coach uses this to calibrate how to support you. There's no wrong answer.
Hard-won qualities are real skills. Your coach wants to know about them.
Where you stand today
Your coach needs context on your current situation to give you relevant, grounded guidance, not just possibilities, but possibilities that fit your actual life right now.
How prepared you are to move
Two of the strongest predictors of coaching success are how ready you are to change and how confident you feel doing it. These questions help your coach understand where to start.
Rate your confidence in each area specifically. This tells your coach exactly where to focus energy.
What pulls your attention
Rate how much each statement sounds like you. There's no right answer. Go with your gut.
What you navigate by
Pick up to 7 values that matter most to you in your work right now.
How you move through work
Rate how much each description sounds like you. Most people are a blend, but one usually leads.
Fields that catch your eye
Pick up to 4 broad fields you're drawn to, even loosely. Don't overthink it.
Who you are becoming
Most assessments measure your preferences. Very few measure your identity. These questions go deeper. They help your coach understand not just what you want to do, but who you are becoming in your career.
In a rapidly changing world, how you adapt often matters as much as what you already know.
Your coach uses this to understand your leadership, collaboration, and influence style.
Five years from now
Imagine it's five years from now and everything has gone well. Not perfectly, but genuinely, meaningfully well. Close your eyes for a moment if it helps, then answer honestly.
Rank these from most to least important. Drag to reorder, or use the numbers.
Where you're headed, and what's in the way
Naming real barriers helps your coach advocate for realistic paths, not just ideal ones.
Rate how much each statement feels true for you right now. Honest answers help your coach focus on what actually holds you back.
Your answers go only to your coach, not to any database, AI training system, or third party.
