C. COACHING PLANS
WHY SHOULD I USE COACHING PLANS WITH MY CLIENTS?
When you're coaching your clients, you want to set goals, keep your client focused, demonstrate the power of coaching, and
track progress. Using coaching plans with your clients help you to do all of these things.
1. The Coaching Plan. By compleHng a coaching plan before a session, your client will be able to talk about their
accomplishments and challenges since your last appointment together, and their prioriHes for the coming session.
This lets you focus in very directly during your coaching session on the areas that need work, leNng you keep your
coaching sharp and to the point. Coaching plans are the best tool for keeping your coaching sessions on track,
keeping the big picture in mind, and keeping your clients moHvated and moving toward their goals.
2. The Follow-up. Aner your session together, by compleHng a Follow-up, your client will be able to commit in wriHng
to the goals and acHon items you have discussed together. This keeps them on track and moHvated to succeed. Pair
your client's Follow-up with goals, homework assignments, and journaling that you assign for the client to follow
through on these commitments. In their follow-up, clients can also ask any quesHons they may have that weren't
addressed, and give you valuable feedback about the session. You can also ask your client to reflect on their greatest
insight from your session. This allows them to conHnually see the power of coaching in their lives.
You can comment on any of your client's responses to both the plan and follow-up to keep coaching alive, interacHve and
dynamic.
For online coaching, the process is similar. Your online coaching clients will submit Coaching Progress Reports at agreed upon
intervals, answering the same types of focusing quesHons. Since there are no coaching calls in between reports, Coaching
plasn are even more central to your coaching together. You can comment on your client's answers and they can comment
back, allowing for a deep online interacHve presence in their lives. Gear the assignment of your other coaching tools to your
client's answers.
Rather than depending on the cumbersome process of email, the Coaching management area of your dashboard and your
client's Coaching Pad will make the process of submiNng, reading and commenHng on their Coaching plans flow seamlessly.
You can of course customize the coaching plan your clients will receive on their dashboard in any way you want, according to
your own coaching preferences.
27
www.lifecoachhub.com
2. The list of your appointments with your client will show up, based on the appointments you have made together. If
you don't have any appointments yet, click the buVon "Make an appointment."
3. The status column will display whether or not the Coaching plan and Follow-up have been completed by your client.
4. Click on the link "Coaching plan and follow-up." It will drop down to reveal the following:

answers. You can comment on any answer and receive comments back from your client. Just click the
Comment link
o Underneath the Coaching plan is an area called My Plan and Private Notes from the Session, which we
discuss below.
o At the boVom is the Follow-up from the session. This shows the quesHons from your Coaching plan Follow-
up and your client's answers. Again, you can comment on any answer, and your client can comment back.
2. The list of your online sessions with your client will show up, based on your regularly scheduled coaching progress
report dates. The way online coaching works is that rather than having live sessions (either over the phone or in
28

responding directly to their coaching progress report, as well as assigning other coaching tools.

progress.

o Underneath the Coaching progress report is an area called Private notes. This is where you can take notes

29
www.lifecoachhub.com
HOW DO I USE COACHING NOTES WITH MY CLIENTS?
Most coaches like to take notes before, during and aner their coaching to keep their clients on track, and to keep themselves
focussed. Your system allows you to do this effortlessly. Having online records of your coaching also allows you to search
easily through your notes at any Hme to remember key moments in your client's coaching journey.
Prefill func\on
To make it easier for you and cut down on your typing, we've created a feature where, for every session aner the first, you
can choose to prefill all fields with your notes from the previous session. You can of course edit these freely, but this could
save you from tedious cut and pasHng, or having two browser windows open while you review last session's notes.
Just click the buVon "Prefill" at the top of the secHon.
30
www.lifecoachhub.com
2. Click View/edit Coaching plan next to Private Coaching or Online Coaching. Then click Edit. You can change any
quesHons by changing to text. To delete a quesHon, just erase the text. Press Add addiHonal quesHon to insert
another quesHon. Press Save coaching plan to Save.

WHAT KIND OF COACHING TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ME TO USE?
The best part about your coaching sonware is the wide variety of tools and forms that you can use in your coaching pracHce.

you are doing together. Your clients will report on their progress, creaHng entries you can view and comment on.
iv. ASSESSMENTS AND FORMS. Create your own assessments and forms to gather informaHon about where your clients are
and where they would like to be. Assessments take a reading of the current terrain—where your clients are at right now. They
also allow you to plot a clear plan of acHon in your coaching to see where your clients want to be and how you can help them
get there.
v. RESOURCES. You may have addiHonal informaHon you want to pass onto your clients. You can do this easily from your

of document, and you can even create resources yourself from scratch. Then just assign them to the clients you want, when
the Hme is right.

achieve their aims, and to create a clear, acHonable path to get there.
Crea\ng Goals
1. Once you have a coaching client registered, access Client and Coaching Management (under Manage Clients &
Coaching from the drop-down menu). Here you will see a list of your AcHve clients, InacHve clients and Prospects.
Clicking on any name will drop down a range of tools, including Goals. From this window, you can create and assign
goals.
2. Click on the buVon at the top that says "Create a goal." An area will drop down where you can create your new goal
for this client.
Choose a Htle and write a descripHon.
You can provide a target date if you want, or choose to make this an
Ongoing goal. You can also add a reward that you encourage your
client to enjoy when they complete their goal.
If the goal is fairly large, you might want to provide milestones along
the way with opHonal target dates for these as well. These should be
arranged in chronological order leading up to the goal target date.
You can add as many milestones as you like—simply click Add
addiHonal milestone.
Edi\ng Goals
You can edit your goals by clicking the link View/edit goal then selecHng Edit. Aner making your changes, click Save.

marked Assign Date, click the link Assign or the calendar icon and select a date. This is the date your client will be able to see
your goal.

client's progress.

iii. ACTION ITEMS
WHY USE ACTION ITEMS IN MY COACHING?
The key benefit of coaching is in helping clients to create new strategies, behaviors and perspecHves. Asking your client to
take acHon is criHcal in this process, and creaHng acHon items is the perfect way to make taking acHon concrete for your
client. Once your client commits to taking acHon during your session together, either you or your client can create that acHon
item.
Your clients will report on their progress, creaHng entries you can view and comment on. This creates accountability, giving
clients the push they need to follow through on their commitments and take acHon towards reaching their goals. AcHon
items have been shown to improve client commitment to their goals. If clients commit to a task, they will have more of an
investment in their coaching outcomes.
Similar to goals, acHon items are unique to each client, so you'll only see the acHon items for that client on their AcHon Item
tab.
41
www.lifecoachhub.com

iv. ASSESSMENTS AND FORMS
WHY USE ASSESSMENTS IN MY COACHING?
Gather informaHon about where your clients are and where they would like to be. Assessments take a reading of the current
terrain—where your clients are at right now. They also allow you to plot a clear plan of acHon in your coaching to see where
your clients want to be and how you can help them get there.
You should use forms and assessments throughout your enHre coaching relaHonship. When first geNng to know a client,
assessments can be used to plot out a variety of areas, such as a client's values, their goals for the next six months or their
personal mission statement. You can use these to guide your coaching work together.
Along your coaching path, you should conHnue to administer assessments, targeted towards parHcular acHon items. For
instance, if your client is struggling with finding a balance between work and life, you might want to set a Value clarificaHon
assessment to help them figure out where their values lie and if they are aligned with their current lifestyle. If a client is
struggling with stress from having too much to do, you could create a PrioriHes and Time management assessment which
charts where they spend the majority of their Hme, and whether it is aligned with their values and prioriHes.
In essence, the possibiliHes are endless. Assessments help you and your client pinpoint obstacles, challenges and
opportuniHes in your client's path towards achieving their goals. Coaching assessments are so valuable because they allow
your client to assess themselves, measure their own progress, and thus become a beVer partner towards their own success.
Even beVer, you receive the responses directly in your dashboard. You can easily comment on the assessment to further your
client's coaching work. You also have a permanent electronic archive for easy accessibility, leNng you track your client's
changing values and prioriHes easily.

coaching by creaHng one or more courses. Your group coaching can take place completely online, or integrate tradiHonal live
interacHon through group coaching calls.
Coach training

iv. ASSESSMENTS AND FORMS

At the start of the course, you can gather informaHon about where your course members are at currently. You can tailor your
course depending on this reading.
Throughout the course, you can administer forms as either a self-assessment tool, or a way for you to deepen your course
work. For instance, in a course on Stress Management, you might want to create and administer a PrioriHes and Time
management assessment which allows course members to chart where they spend the majority of their Hme, and whether it
is aligned with their values and prioriHes. You could then link this to other coaching tools, such as asking them to journal
about what they have discovered, or take acHon in some way.
Assessments and forms are valuable in running your courses because they allow your course members to assess themselves,
measure their own progress, and thus become a beVer partner towards their own success.

Step 8 : MARKET YOURSELF BY POSTING AN
ARTICLE OR A TIP
HOW CAN I MARKET MYSELF TO REACH NEW CLIENTS?
What’s the best way to be perceived as an expert in your niche? Write about what you know! The more you can showcase
your coaching experHse, the beVer you are posiHoned to gain new clients. Write arHcles and quick Hps to demonstrate your
experHse within your niche areas and gain a following. All expert contribuHons are linked to your profile and opHmized for
search engine visibility.
You’ll also earn a higher a Life Coach Hub raHng by wriHng arHcles and Hps, boosHng your visibility and aVracHng more
clients.
SUBMIT AN ARTICLE OR A TIP
Gaining a following
Your arHcles will be listed in your ArHcle Summary page, linked to your profile. This is your own personal blog space. Think
about craning series of arHcles that generate a following for people interested in your parHcular niche areas.
• Each coaching category you write about (for instance stress management or work/life balance) is like a blog category
within your blog. Feel free to write on a very specific topic that can be categorized according to these coaching
niches. So for instance in NLP, EFT and hypnotherapy, topics could be arHcles such as "How building rapport can help
you land that next job" or "Seven steps to mirroring." The more concrete and specific you can be in the coaching
advice you give, and the topic you choose, the more your readers will respond.
• A series within a coaching niche category can also be a great way of gaining a following. For instance, you might
write a series on stress management techniques, or Hps for busy working mothers, and so on.
118
www.lifecoachhub.com
• ArHcles such as "10 easy ways to help you [fill in the blank]" and "Top 10 [blank]" are always well liked. Using a hook
such as a popular celebrity or trending event which then moves into a related coaching Hp can be very shareable and
linkable. PredicHons and trends are fun (e.g. What’s hot and what’s not for [fill in the blank] for 2013).
• To build a following, it’s a great idea to link to any other arHcles you have wriVen for this site within your arHcle.
