1 Clarify your expectations

Before you start your coaching sessions, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, why it matters to you, and how you will measure your progress. You also need to understand what your coach expects from you, such as your level of engagement, honesty, and openness. Discuss these expectations with your coach and align them with your personal and professional goals. This will help you create a coaching agreement that defines the scope, duration, and frequency of your sessions, as well as the roles and responsibilities of both parties.

In my experience, the clients who get the most from executive coaching are those who consistently do a few things during the engagement: 1) They come to each session with a specific goal or topic they want to focus on, and they're clear what they would find helpful – they're in the driver's seat, rather than looking to me to lead the conversation; 2) They take action between sessions, usually in the form of observing, reflecting or experimenting; and 3) They keep a journal to process on their learnings.

2 Prepare for each session

To make each session productive and meaningful, you need to do some homework beforehand. This may include reviewing your previous session notes, completing any assignments or exercises, reflecting on your feedback, and identifying any issues or questions you want to explore. You also need to set aside enough time and space for your session, free from distractions and interruptions. Make sure you have a reliable internet connection, a comfortable headset, and a pen and paper to take notes. Lastly, you need to be mentally and emotionally ready for your session, with a positive and curious attitude.

3 Engage actively and openly

During your session, you need to be fully present and engaged with your coach. Listen attentively, ask questions, share your thoughts and feelings, and be open to feedback and new perspectives. Your coach is not there to tell you what to do, but to help you discover your own solutions and insights. Therefore, you need to be willing to challenge yourself, experiment with new behaviors, and learn from your mistakes. Remember that your coach is your partner, not your judge or critic. Trust them and respect their confidentiality.

4 Follow up and apply your learning

After each session, you need to review your notes, summarize your key takeaways, and identify your action steps. You also need to follow up with your coach on any agreed tasks or commitments, such as sending them a progress report, requesting feedback, or scheduling your next session. Most importantly, you need to apply your learning to your real-life situations and challenges. This is where the real change and growth happens. Practice your new skills, test your assumptions, seek feedback, and reflect on your outcomes. Celebrate your successes and learn from your setbacks.

For those being coached take a a long-term view of the coaching process. For it is very likely that you are or will be coaching others in the future. In essence, recipient today - provider tomorrow. Or said differently, immediately payoff and long-term multiplier effect. Knowing the long-term value coaching, may increase the desire to soak-up every moment of your current learning, practicing and mastery.

5 Seek support and accountability

Your coach is not the only source of support and accountability for your learning journey. You also need to involve other people who can help you achieve your goals, such as your manager, peers, mentors, or family. Share your goals and action plans with them, ask for their feedback and suggestions, and request their support and encouragement. You can also join a coaching group or community where you can connect with other leaders who are going through similar experiences and challenges. This will help you expand your network, exchange ideas, and learn from others.

6 Review and evaluate your progress

Finally, you need to review and evaluate your progress regularly and systematically. This will help you track your achievements, identify any gaps or areas for improvement, and adjust your goals and action plans accordingly. You can use various tools and methods to measure your progress, such as self-assessments, feedback surveys, performance reviews, or goal-tracking apps. You should also discuss your progress with your coach and celebrate your milestones together. At the end of your coaching program, you should conduct a final evaluation and reflect on your overall learning journey.

It is so important to make time to review progress. Progress will provide confidence for you and your client that the collaboration is working. Track the progress in writing. Use scorecards, and/or software, to assure you can measure the results. Nothing is more satisfying with your client when they have a positive return on their investment. Their actual results combined with their story provide a powerful referral message for future clients.
