If your score was:

76-100:  Dead Center!
You are using your unique gifts and talents and are generally passionate about life. You define your own success and enjoy making it happen, without the need to satisfy your ego. You are peaceful and content, and if something happens to throw you off from that, you don't stay there long, quickly returning to center.  You feel as if you can be fully yourself without worrying about what people thinking of you.  You likely have strong relationships, feel connected to community, and are actively making a difference for others, likely in your work and personal life.  When people compliment you, you likely accept it with grace.  Congrats!  Working with a coach would help you to get back to center faster, or help you identify your next big contribution.

51-75:  On the Edge
You enjoy your life and work and feel primarily peaceful, content, and successful.  You motivate yourself easily to take action toward your goals, though it may sometimes be more difficult than it needs to be to bring them to fruition.  You are mostly focused, but can get distracted by new ideas and even by what other people think of your ideas. There is a nagging sense that there could be something more. You enjoy your relationships and contribute to others.  You may sometimes question whether people really understand you, but you love and accept them anyway.  You do feel as if you are making a difference, but from time to time you question what it is all for.  You may dismiss compliments, thinking, "that was nothing."  Working with a coach can keep you focused and internally motivated, help you discern how to put your unique skills and talents to use in a way that is natural and easy, and brings big rewards.  You could be a bit more peaceful and able to have fun, and more present to the difference you make.

26-50:  Just a Bit Outside
You may have great successes in life, but you likely don't allow yourself to experience them.  You are sometimes frustrated, feeling as if people don't quite "get" you or your ideas, and this causes you to be disconnected from people and disenchanted with your work.  You may have even learned to keep your ideas to yourself. You probably question if you are in the right field or even if there could be a right field for you.  But you keep trying - you know there is no sense in "rolling over."  It as if you can see that something exists that you are meant to be, do, or have but you can't quite get there.  You are fairly heavily influenced by the opinions of others, especially those you consider "experts," and would never consider making a decision that flies in the face of what others think. Working with a coach would help to identify and own your unique gifts, talents and passions and take strategic action to create a life which uses them.  You would also discover fulfilling and supportive relationships at a level you never thought possible.

0-25:  Out of Range
You feel stuck and don't quite know what to do about it.  You may feel alone, even when you're with people.  You have tried different approaches and tactics to feel better about life, but each one just makes you more convinced that it is not possible.  Coaching for you would mean honing in on the core of your interpretations of, and beliefs and assumptions about, life that are creating your current experience.  You would first work to get a clear picture of what the Sweet Spot might look like to you, and by creating this initial awareness, you will start to notice opportunities that never showed up before.  You will become free to create a life of increased balance, connection, passion, and contentment.  It will require a clear commitment to living the Sweet Spot life in order to make it happen, but once the commitment is there, the actual process is simple.
