Why use a coaching session prep form?

Reflection is a key component of the coaching process. Session Prep Forms deepen clients’ reflection and prepare both them and you for the session. Clients who prepare for sessions, get more out of coaching as a whole. Their insights are clearer during sessions and accountability is usually more consistent. 

 

Reflection is a cornerstone in the process of learning in coaching. Research shows that the more you increase your clients’ opportunities for reflection, the more they will learn and their results will be proportional (Griffiths, 2008). The reflective process is deepened when clients reflect prior to sessions as they fill in prep forms. Plus, depending on your questions, Session Prep Forms can act as your accountability safety net, ensuring that you monitor your clients’ progress in between sessions by having standard questions about any action they have taken. It often seems rudimentary and authoritarian to check in on action during a coaching session, but a coaching session prep form ensures regular and consistent accountability, whilst maintaining the attention during the session on the current focal points. 

 

Finally, depending on the appearance, presentation and ease of use of your session prep form, it can enhance your professionalism as a coach.  When using the ReciproCoach Session Prep Form, clients actually comment on how professional your paperwork process is. Importantly, research shows that your level of professionalism actually boosts clients’ trust in you as a coach, and boosted trust in turn boosts client honesty which in turn boosts client outcomes.
