Coaching Session
Checklist

COACHING PRACTICE TOOLS

A post-session self-evaluation to sharpen your practice
one session at a time.

Where This Tool Helps

Quality coaching is built through reflection, not just repetition. This checklist gives you a structured moment after each session to assess your own presence, communication, and follow-through - before the next client arrives and the session fades from memory.

Use it consistently, and patterns will emerge. The items you check "No" on repeatedly are where your development as a coach is waiting.

How to Use This Checklist

  1. Complete this checklist within 30 minutes of ending a session, while your observations are still fresh.
  2. Read each item and respond honestly - there is no one watching your answers.
  3. For any "No" response, make a brief note about what you observed or what you would do differently.
  4. Over time, review patterns across sessions to identify recurring development areas.
  5. Bring recurring "No" responses to coaching supervision as discussion points.
