What must clients do prior to their first coaching session?

Clients must complete and submit the Goals form prior to their first coaching session as it serves several essential purposes for effective coaching. This form allows clients to articulate their aspirations and objectives, providing a clear foundation for the coaching relationship. By outlining their specific goals, clients enable the coach to better understand their desires, motivations, and any potential barriers they may encounter.

Completing the Goals form promotes accountability and prepares both the coach and client for a productive session. It gives the coach insight into the client’s unique circumstances and priorities, which can be addressed during their discussions. Furthermore, this preparation encourages clients to reflect on what they genuinely want to achieve, setting the stage for meaningful dialogue and progress. Thus, submitting the Goals form is an important preliminary step that enhances the effectiveness of the coaching experience.
