ICF-approved Coaching Guide is a tool that explores the values, needs, and coaching expectations of the client, providing a roadmap for the coaching process.
The Coaching Guide/Coach Guide Report, used in Module 1 of ICF-approved Certified Coaching Programs, is a coaching tool that results from an exploratory inventory where clients answer detailed and thought-provoking questions about themselves and their past life experiences. It provides both the client and the coach with the ability to prepare for and establish a roadmap for the coaching process by uncovering the client's values, needs, perspectives on themselves and life, as well as the topics the client wants to bring to the coaching process and what the coach needs to know before starting the process. This enables both the client and the coach to have a preparatory stage and establish a route for the coaching process.
During coaching sessions, a values workshop frequently focused on and referenced, consists of three parts: a values study that skillfully reduces universal values to 10 individual values using a meticulously designed screening method, a Wheel of Life that instantly reflects the current and ideal situations in various areas of life through a personalized report, and a study that determines the client's coaching experiences/expectations.
In the first section, a detailed portrait of the client is drawn out through questions focusing on topics such as change and growth, strengths, success, emotions, living, traveling and being present, values, expectations, needs, and coaching subjects.
In the second section, the client's values are identified through a valuesworkshop, followed by an assessment of the client's current/ideal life situations using the Wheel of Life.
Finally, any previous coaching experiences of the client, information that the coach needs to know before starting the process, and the client's expectations from coaching are determined.
Clients who complete this inventory can choose to share their personalized report, created simultaneously with the completion of the inventory, with their coaches if they wish.
