The Power Of A Coaching Structure

CHAPTER 1

The Power Of
A Coaching Structure

If you're like most coaches, the idea of creating "structure" in your coaching sessions makes you want to run as far and as fast as you can.

The Power Of A Coaching Structure

You might even feel like introducing structure to your sessions can - and will - squeeze every last drop of creativity from what you do but here's the thing...

The world's best coaches rely on powerful session structures or formats to deliver results for their clients.

World-class coaches are always willing to go with the flow so they can give their clients what they need in the moment, but make no mistake...

Coaches who know their stuff have a clear and defined structure that supports every one of their sessions and that's exactly why they're at the top of their game

The truth is structure in a coaching session is not limiting, it's not boring and it's absolutely necessary.

In fact, a reliable session structure is the thing that will create freedom for you as the coach... It is essential in your journey on how to become a transformational coach.

It sets you free to safely experiment with creative ideas and to provide the highest level of transformation and results for your client every time they have a session with you.

Ultimately, that's what coaching is all about... results. With the changing climate in what people look for in coaching — especially in 2021 — results are more important than ever.

Structures are powerful and even critical in a coaching session because you have a format or system to work with.

When you have a session structure that you can rely on, you'll save a ton of time and energy that you would otherwise spend on researching and coming up with ideas on what you need to do next with each client.

example of a great coaching session structure

If you're working with a new client, a session structure creates a sense of comfort and direction because you're not doing things at random...

You're following a defined path.

Your clients will see that your questions are targeted and focused, and that you're not jumping from one thought to the next (this can create deep uncertainty and doubt in your abilities and skills as a coach).

In 2021, when the world is going through drastic changes and adjustments on account of the Pandemic and its implications, it becomes more pertinent to have a focused structure incorporated into your transformational coaching model.

So, what does an awesome session structure look like?

While there's no such thing as a "one size fits all" answer, some of the most effective and transformational session structures out there include these 3 power-packed steps:
