Pre- and post-measurement

Pre- and post-measurement is the comparison of the evaluations made at the beginning and at the end of the coaching process. Before the process begins, a state is assessed; at the end, the same criteria are looked at again, and the difference between them shows the effect of the process. This method takes progress out of impression and grounds it in a concrete comparison. A person often does not notice how much they have changed; remembering their state at the start makes the ground covered visible. The coach helps the client, through this comparison, acknowledge their own progress.
