How Your Coaching Session Is Structured
Every coaching session that I conduct, whether it is an individual session or the full in-depth course, involves 6 steps:
-
- Establish Coaching Agreement: Identify the specific topic for the session.
- What is the issue/goal to focus on today?
- What is important about this for you?
- Set the Outcome: Set goal or outcome for the session.
- How will you know you achieved your objective?
- What will that look/feel like (subjective/objective)?
- Where are you now regarding this objective?
- Coach the Client: Help to explore outcomes and actions
- What is the best solution for you?
- What changes might you or others notice?
- Commit to Action: Identify specific actions you will commit to.
- What might get in the way of accomplishing this?
- How will you support your commitment to action?
- Key Outcomes: Summarize actions. commitments and/or perspective shifts.
- What are your take-aways from this session?
- What new awareness or learning happened today?
- How will this support you going forward?
- Accountability: Coach partners with you to hold you to commitment.
- How will you hold yourself accountable to the goals set today?
- How can I partner with you to enhance your accountability?
Often I will suggest reading or homework, or other activities with follow-up. Including scheduling the next session. In the case of an individual session, there is a 10-15 minute followup session included in the price.
