Coaching Practice Tools

A curated reference sheet for sharing books, tools, articles, or frameworks
that support your client's development between sessions.

Building a Useful Resource List

The work does not stop when the session ends. Clients who have something to read, listen to, or explore between conversations maintain momentum in a way that session-only engagement rarely achieves. A resources list gives them a concrete way to stay engaged with their development between appointments.

The challenge is curation. Generic reading lists are rarely used. Resources that connect specifically to what a client is working on - the book that maps directly to the challenge they raised last session, the framework that helps them see the pattern you named together - are the ones that get opened.

Fill this in with the materials you actually recommend, not a comprehensive list of everything you have read. Fewer focused resources will serve your clients better than a thorough bibliography.

How to Use This Template

  1. Complete the resource entries before distributing. Do not send a blank or placeholder list.
  2. Tailor the list to the client when possible. A generic list is background noise; a resource matched to their current focus gets used.
  3. Include enough detail that the client knows what they are getting into - one sentence on why you are recommending it is more useful than a title and author alone.
  4. Keep the list short enough to be actionable. Four to six focused resources are more valuable than twenty.
  5. Update and redistribute as the engagement progresses and new resources become relevant.
