Our Methodology

Evidence-based coaching evaluation grounded in global standards

Coachismo was born out of my own desire to grow as a coach. I wanted more than a gut feeling after each session. I wanted to understand what was really happening in the conversation. Which moments landed? Which questions opened new doors? And where did I miss the chance to go deeper?

Grounded in Global Standards

Our evaluation framework is anchored in internationally recognized coaching principles. We've distilled them into five developmental dimensions that matter most in practice:

1

Active Listening

Attending fully to the client's words, tone, and meaning, and reflecting back understanding that makes them feel truly heard.

2

Powerful Questions

Asking clear, open, and challenging questions that uncover assumptions, deepen awareness, and expand possibilities.

3

Challenging Stretch

Inviting the client to step beyond comfort, take on new perspectives, or move toward bolder action.

4

Holding Presence

Staying grounded, attentive, and fully available in the moment, even in silence or uncertainty.

5

Facilitating Insight

Helping the client connect dots, reframe thinking, and arrive at new realizations that create momentum for change.

These are the skills that consistently create breakthroughs for clients, and they form the backbone of our scoring and feedback system.

More Than a Score

Each transcript is carefully reviewed across these five dimensions on a 1–10 scale. But numbers are just the beginning. Coaches receive:

Strength Spotlights

Clear examples of what's working, drawn directly from their own conversations.

Depth Opportunities

Moments where a different approach could have created more impact.

Action Steps

Targeted, practical suggestions to try in the very next session.

Built for Learning

Coachismo is a reflection partner, not a judge. The analysis is honest, specific, and always tied to real evidence from your sessions. You won't find vague praise or criticism here, only focused insights you can actually use.

Confidentiality and Privacy

Your coaching conversations are personal, and we treat them that way. All transcripts are anonymized and handled securely, so your clients' privacy and your own remain protected. The process is built entirely for your growth, never for exposure.

Built for Trust & Quality

Privacy, security, and proven methodology you can rely on

Automatic Anonymization

All names and identifying information removed

Enterprise Security

Industry-standard security practices

Trusted Methodology

Based on accepted coaching standards

Why It Works

By combining structured evaluation with advanced transcript review, Coachismo transforms raw conversation into meaningful insight. It helps coaches move beyond "How did that feel?" into concrete learning that accelerates growth.

Our Scoring Scale

We rate each dimension on a 1–10 scale, but most skilled coaches operate in the 7–9 range. Here's how to think about it:

7

Emerging

The skill shows up in meaningful moments, but not consistently.

8

Reliable

The skill is evident in multiple places across the session, though not yet woven throughout.

9

Consistent

The skill is a thread running through the whole conversation, shaping how the client learns and grows.

10

Transformative

Rare and aspirational. The skill is present throughout and elevates the session into breakthrough territory.

Why This Matters

Our goal isn't to hand out grades — it's to create constructive, evidence-based feedback that coaches can act on. The rubric ensures:

Consistency

Every session is measured against the same clear standards.

Rigor

High scores are earned through repeated, demonstrated behaviors, not one-off moments.

Growth Focus

Feedback highlights strengths and surfaces practical ways to deepen impact.
