After every coaching session, my coaching clients write a log of the awareness created, clarity, and learning during that session.They also commit to actions they will take as a result of the new knowledge, which serves as an action review template for the next session. Reproduced below, with the client's permission, is page # 1 from a coachee's session log. His priority was to improve his Customer Service for which I employed the learning methodology of See, Plan, Do, Check and Fix model (see visual). The process was not linear and I went with the flow of the client's thought processes.
