Career Coach Session Kit

The problem

Coaches often struggle to maintain rigorous documentation while honoring the ICF ethic of client-led discovery. Manually drafting recaps and development plans that use the client's own voice, without slipping into prescriptive advice or consulting, is time-consuming and risks crossing professional boundaries.

What it does

• Generates intake summaries that restate client goals and success metrics for confirmation.
• Drafts session recaps where action items are written in the client's voice to maintain ownership.
• Builds 90-day development plans focused on observable behaviors and stakeholder engagement.
• Creates mid-engagement and post-engagement reviews that distinguish between client content and sponsor-appropriate themes.
• Produces professional coaching proposals that clearly define the scope, fee structure, and the boundary between coaching and therapy.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often result in a "consultant" tone that prescribes answers or offers unsolicited advice. This skill is hardcoded with coaching-ethic principles, ensuring that action items remain client-owned and that executive sponsor reports never leak confidential session details.

Use cases

• Converting messy session notes into a structured recap with client-committed action items.
• Drafting an executive coaching proposal that clearly outlines confidentiality for HR sponsors.
• Creating a 90-day growth plan based on an initial discovery session.
• Sending non-judgmental accountability check-ins between formal sessions.

Known limitations

Does not provide clinical diagnosis or therapy. It cannot make career decisions for the client or guarantee specific professional outcomes. Documentation requires coach review to ensure credential accuracy.
