General Structure for Coaching Session

When conducting a coaching session of any kind, it is important to cover key coaching areas.
The following coaching session outline is an example of a concrete structure that you can use
with your clients. Depending in your coaching niche, your sessions may look very different than
this.
1. Review progress or changes since last session, including homework
2. Determine goal in client’s life they wish to address and plan for
3. Reality check: where are they in comparison to where they want to be
4. Explore options, solutions and needed action steps
5. Help client make a plan and agree to action steps
6. Assign homework

Remember, the benefit of hiring a coach is that the client has a concrete structure to hold them
accountable. It is always your role to direct the session and ensure goals for the session, such as
identifying options and determining action steps, are accomplished.
