Coaching Practice Tools

Three optional prompts about moments of agency, influence, and confidence.

Where This Tool Helps

These prompts offer three related words that a client may define differently: powerful, in control, and confident. A client may use, rename, combine, or skip any prompt.

Use one or more prompts in a session or as private reflection when the client finds the language relevant.

Answers are client-owned descriptions, not an inventory, measurement, or profile. Ask what the words mean in the current context.

How to Use This Worksheet

This is a client-facing reflection tool. Assign it before a session or use it as a session opening exercise.
Each prompt has space for a full written response. Invite any amount of writing; later sentences are not assumed to be more revealing than the first.
"What makes you feel powerful?" and "What makes you feel in control?" appear similar but often produce different answers. Explore either only if the distinction feels useful.
"What makes you feel confident?" uses the client's own definition; do not infer capability, dominance, or a psychological construct from the answer.
Ask what the client notices without inferring a stable pattern or profile.
