In this episode we discuss:
Coaching is not exempt from the need to maintain paperwork.
The importance of taking notes in coaching sessions.
When does taking notes become a distraction and when does it become an asset?
Why is a pre-call form before the session a great coaching tool?
What’s the responsibility of the coach, and what is the responsibility of the client?
How a post-session recap form allows the client to get further support in between sessions.
How do you optimize the client experience?
“Those pre-call forms are really powerful as a coach or a great coaching tool, and they're a great client support tool.”
“If we are just so focused on, for my case, what used to be my yellow pad, scribbling those notes, it's hard to be really present for your client. So finding the right balance of those things is important.”– Lori Wayne

What is Just Between Coaches?
Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community.
Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care?
This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.
