1 Prepare yourself

Before you start a coaching session, make sure you are in the right mindset and environment. Clear your schedule, turn off your phone, close your email, and eliminate any other sources of noise or interruption. Set a clear intention for the session, review your notes and goals, and remind yourself of your role as a coach. Take a few deep breaths, relax your body, and center your attention on your client.

To stay focused during a coaching session, prioritize active listening, maintaining genuine curiosity about your client's experiences. Set clear session objectives and an agenda to guide discussions. Minimize distractions by creating a quiet and dedicated space. Practice mindfulness techniques to center yourself, and if your mind wanders, gently redirect focus to the client. Use reflective questioning to deepen understanding and keep the conversation purposeful. Regularly check in on session goals and adjust as needed. Embrace flexibility while adhering to the coaching framework.Deep breathing always helps.

2 Use active listening

Active listening is a key skill for any coach. It means paying attention to what your client is saying, showing interest and empathy, and asking open-ended questions. Active listening helps you understand your client's perspective, emotions, and motivations, and also builds rapport and trust. To practice active listening, use verbal and non-verbal cues to show that you are listening, such as nodding, smiling, or saying "mm-hmm". Summarize or paraphrase what your client says to check your understanding and clarify any confusion. Ask questions that encourage your client to explore their thoughts and feelings, such as "What do you mean by that?" or "How does that make you feel?"

3 Use tools and techniques

There are some tools and techniques that can help you stay focused during a coaching session. For example, you can use a timer to set a specific duration for the session and keep track of the time. You can also use a notebook or a digital tool to take notes, jot down key points, or record action steps. Taking notes can help you remember important information, organize your thoughts, and follow up with your client. However, be careful not to overdo it or lose eye contact with your client. You can also use a coaching model or framework, such as GROW, SMART, or STEER, to guide the session and keep it structured and focused.

This is really easy, actually. To begin, I come into each session with my clients with their very greatest outcome as my only focus. As a hypnotist I do have a head start in understanding how to use my focused attention “on purpose with purpose”, it’s true. I also make it a steadfast rule to only accept clients who I can hold the highest level of compassion for, at all times. Honestly though, I am having a hard time imagining a coach who cannot stay focused on the client in front of them. ?? Active listening, taking notes, and not being uninterested in those hiring us should literally be the barest minimum of requirements in offering coaching to others. Thank you for attending my Ted talk. ??

4 Manage your energy

Your energy level can affect your focus during a coaching session. If you are tired, hungry, thirsty, or stressed, you may find it hard to concentrate or stay motivated. To manage your energy, make sure you take care of your physical and mental health. Get enough sleep, eat well, hydrate yourself, and exercise regularly. Also, take breaks between sessions, meditate, or do something that relaxes you and recharges you. Avoid coaching too many clients in a row or taking on more than you can handle.

5 Seek feedback

One of the best ways to improve your focus during a coaching session is to seek feedback from your client and yourself. Ask your client how they felt about the session, what they learned, and what they would like to improve. Listen to their feedback with an open mind and a learning attitude, and thank them for their honesty. You can also ask them to rate your coaching skills, such as your listening, questioning, or communication. You can also self-reflect on your performance, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and set goals for improvement. You can also seek feedback from other coaches, mentors, or peers, and learn from their experience and advice.

In my experience, preparing for the session is key. I like to give a overview of layout of call, this assist in being timely, efficient and highlights the value of the session. I Prepare a line up of questions, to assure I stay on topic as well as cover all points needed within call. I allow questions from clients as well as provide realistic solutions. I like to use timelines for completing issues revealed during session. I also love to give praise on areas the client is actively working on and seeing the effects of change. I create successful programs… That create successful Clients!!
