What is the primary purpose of a coaching intake form in a client-centered practice?
Answer: To gather background information that helps the client and coach co-create an effective coaching plan
An intake form is a collaborative tool that surfaces context needed to tailor the coaching relationship to the client's unique needs.
A client's goal is 'to be happier.' How should a holistic coach best work with this statement?
Answer: Help the client define what happiness means to them and what would indicate they have achieved it
Abstract goals become actionable when the client clarifies their personal definition and specific indicators of success.
Which model specifically supports breaking a large goal into 90-day cycles with weekly commitments?
Answer: The 12-Week Year method
The 12-Week Year compresses annual goals into 90-day cycles, creating urgency and sharper weekly execution.
Accountability in holistic coaching differs from micromanagement because it:
Answer: Empowers the client to self-monitor and report progress they define as meaningful
Client-centered accountability builds the client's internal self-monitoring rather than creating dependency on external oversight.
A client says, 'I know what I should do, I just don't do it.' This statement most likely signals:
Answer: A gap between intention and behavior that may involve deeper emotional or belief barriers
The knowing-doing gap points to behavioral or emotional blocks that holistic coaching can help surface and resolve.
In the GROW coaching model, the 'Reality' stage is best described as:
Answer: Exploring the current situation, facts, and relevant context without judgment
The Reality stage grounds the coaching conversation in an honest assessment of where the client is right now.
When a client's progress plateau is identified, a holistic coach's most effective intervention is:
Answer: Co-exploring what has changed in the client's environment, mindset, or motivation
Plateaus often reflect shifts in context or motivation; collaborative exploration reveals the underlying cause and restores momentum.
