I always use a highly structured approach, which starts with a 360° assessment and is aligned with specific objectives that the coachees need or desire to achieve. Dialogue, questions, activities, exercises, reflections, assessments, questionnaires, tests, psychometrics and on the job application are the main ingredients oft he coaching journey. Often I also use a Coaching ROI template which highlights the monetary value oft he changes that the coachees have achieved. Between sessions which usually are weekly or every 15 days for a length which varies from 60 to 180 minutes, there is always a performance support activity the coachee is given as reading articles, watching videos, being engaged in journaling, being involved in reflections, activities and micro tasks.
