The four parts of a coaching session typically include…
- Setting the Agenda – At the beginning of the session, the coach and client discuss and agree on the focus and objectives for the session. This sets the direction for the conversation and ensures that it is aligned with the client’s goals.
- Exploring the Topic – The coach uses questioning techniques to help the client explore the topic or issue they have identified. This may involve clarifying goals, examining beliefs and assumptions, and generating ideas and solutions.
- Developing Actions – Based on the exploration of the topic, the coach and client work together to identify specific actions that the client can take to move forward. These actions should be realistic, achievable, and aligned with the client’s goals.
- Reviewing and Reflecting – Towards the end of the session, the coach and client review the key insights, decisions, and actions that have emerged. The coach may also help the client reflect on their progress and identify any further support or resources they may need.
Each part of the coaching session plays a role in helping the client gain clarity, set goals, develop strategies, and take action towards achieving their objectives.
