I've recently started using a great online tool called tungle.me to allow clients to see my availability and book their own coaching appointments online.  This works particularly well for me as it seamlessly synchronises with my Google Calendar, which synchronises with the calendar on my smart phone. 

This document can be used as stand-alone or as a next step form looking at the visual “Wheel of Life” exercise.  You can list out all the different areas that make up your client’s life (make sure you use their terminology and not what is just on the document). The next column is the “gaps” that need to be filled in. In other words, the actions that they would like to start taking to progress forward to close the gap. Lastly, there is the desired state/goal that your client would like to achieve. Of course this model can be adapted to suit your needs.

This form allows you to get a high level sense of how the client has progressed in between their sessions. Ideally, this should be sent to you (the coach) within 24 hours of your next session. This document forces the client to reflect on how they have been doing, what they have learned, and acknowledging their progress since their last session. I offer this form to all my clients, but it is up to them whether they want to fill it out or not.

You probably trained as a coach, trainer or consultant so that you could work one-to-one with your clients to give them the best possible results. You get great results with your clients, but the problem is you’re just not getting enough of them. What do service providers such as youselves who run "successful" businesses do? They package up their expertise and they teach their clients first, then coach them to apply that knowledge to their own circumstances. But if everyone’s doing it, how can you stand out?

As a coach, have you ever found yourself wondering about the lives and coaching practices of other coaches? Perhaps you've asked yourself some of the same questions we've been thinking about here at CoachNetwork. For example:

• What backgrounds and training do life coaches and business coaches have?
• Which coaching practices are popular?
• What proportion of life coaches and business coaches have a supplementary income?
• What rates do other coaches charge?
• Which training organization produces the highest paid coaches?
• Does accreditation / credentialing make any difference to income?
• What marketing activities really work?
