How much do you know about your clients? Do you know about their attitudes? Do you know about their aspirations? Do you know about their sore spots? Most importantly – do you know about the way your clients think?
The more information you have about your clients, the more you can understand the feelings and beliefs that drive their outcomes. The more client data you collect – the more equipped you are to be a remarkable coach.
In order to learn more about your clients, you can ask them in-person questions or have them fill out online or paper assessments. Or you can combine these traditional methods and add another layer, a tool that is taking the coaching world by surprise: journaling.
