Reviewing the notes from my previous session with my client prior to the next session is one action that I implement, I allocate 20-30 minutes for this process : This allows me to better challenge coachee based on what they have said their goals and action plans were.
They identified these goals in order to achieve the outcomes they desire and get to the next level. Being able to state back their dreams, vision etc proves to be a powerful way of reminding coachee of the direction and path they outlined.
This allows me to hold them accountable and determine if there are changes.. need for realignment.. change of course
