Email or call my coach for any clarifications.<\/li>\n<li>Enter action items in my calendar, including date and time of next coaching session.<\/li>\n<li>Pull other information from the notes such as affirmations and points of awareness, and then put them in places for greatest visibility and use (for example placing them on my desk, on my bathroom mirror, in my phone, or on my calendar).<\/li>\n<li>Reread the notes several days later or weekly and before next coaching session for additional insights, recognizing that I am different than when I first read them and may now see a different perspective. An extra benefit with this is that reading or hearing words that I used often leads to greater clarity.\u00a0 Also, revisiting the notes supports acknowledging progress and reminds me to enjoy the journey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Receiving the greatest benefit from coaching is directly related to client\u2019s active participation in the process and willingness for partnering in accountability for moving forward.\u00a0 At the end of our coach training <a href=\"https:\/\/www.CoachCert.com\/coachingblog\/summaries-of-coaching-notes-goals-progress-successes\/\" target=\"_blank\">we gave our client their notes<\/a>.\u00a0 Coaching notes serve as a positive reinforcement for the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Juanita Bulloch https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/juanita-bulloch-95976513 Coaching certification programs take different approaches in terms of giving clients notes from the coaching session.\u00a0 What is a perspective for &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[464,116,119,465,77,48,85,45,50,86,81,118,466,463,462,115,134,117,79],"class_list":["post-6619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tools-and-techniques","tag-business-coach-certification","tag-business-coach-training","tag-career-coach-certification","tag-career-coach-training","tag-client","tag-coach","tag-coach-training","tag-coaches","tag-coaching","tag-coaching-certification","tag-coaching-success","tag-executive-coach-certification","tag-executive-coach-training","tag-health-coach-certification","tag-health-coach-training","tag-icf-approved-coach-training","tag-life-coach-training","tag-life-coaching-certification","tag-skills","latest_post"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6619"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6627,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6619\/revisions\/6627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
