Every coach eventually learns that questions are the primary tool of the trade. But not all questions are equal.
Structure is one of the most misunderstood concepts in coaching. Some coaches avoid it entirely.
Most coaches know how to have a good conversation. Fewer know how to run a great session.
Onboarding is when everything looks optimistic. A client signed on, paid, and is responding to your intake form.
Every coach who has run their practice for more than a year has felt it: the administrative drag of onboarding. A new client signs on, and suddenly you're manually sending a welcome email, attaching the intake form, booking the first session, creating a portal entry, and firing off a calendar invite.
The first coaching session sets the tone for everything that follows. Clients who arrive uncertain, unprepared, or stressed about finding the Zoom link start the session in recovery mode.
Walking into a first coaching session without any prior assessment is like a doctor seeing a patient for the first time without reviewing their chart. You can still do the work.
New clients arrive with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. They signed up because they trust you, but they don't yet know how any of this works.
The coach who skips the intake questionnaire walks into the first session with nothing but what the client remembers to tell them in the first five minutes. That is a lot of ground to cover in real time, under the implicit pressure of a paying client sitting across from you expecting something useful to happen.
