HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR COACHING SESSION The Coaching relationship is a confidential space for you to freely discuss your challenges, concerns and goals. Here are some suggestions on how to make the most of each session: • Update your Coaching Workplan and share with Coach prior to session • Discuss your recent win’s • Discuss any current challenges or setbacks • Be open and vulnerable; anxiety and resistance is normal in the change process • Commit to next steps • Ask me for help and guidance if you are uncertain www.bradkerschensteiner.com #5
