Coaching Session Checklist: After a Session

How to wrap up a coaching session.

Reflect on your session.

  • Think back on what worked well.
  • Think of areas you can improve on when it comes to your coaching approach.

Record your findings.

  • Write a session summary. (This will help you maintain continuity, track progress and ensure accountability throughout the coaching process.)

Follow up with your client.

  • Send your client links to promised resources (e.g. articles, frameworks) in the platform.

Plan for the future.

  • Update your client’s goals and tasks.
  • Note patterns and/or themes to address in future sessions.

Look after yourself.

  • Take a moment to decompress and recharge after sessions—especially if they’re back-to-back. (Tip: A well-being exercise can help.)
