Running a coaching session with a student is a collaborative and flexible process that adapts to their individual needs. Here’s how I guide the sessions:

1. Initial Check-In: We begin by chatting about how things have been since our last session. I listen to any concerns they have, so I can better understand their current mindset and challenges.

2. Set Goals: Together, we set clear, specific goals for the session based on what the student wants to achieve. Whether it’s focusing on long-term growth or short-term tasks, I make sure we’re aligned on what’s most important.

3. Review Progress: We take time to reflect on their progress, celebrating wins and addressing any roadblocks they may have encountered. This helps both of us stay accountable and adjust as needed.

4. Skill-Building or Strategy Work: I introduce new strategies, tools, or techniques that will help them reach their goals. Whether we’re working on time management, communication skills, or study habits, I ensure the approach is tailored to what they need at the moment.

5. Application: We work together to apply these strategies to real-life scenarios. Whether it’s breaking down tasks, creating schedules, or tackling challenges, we make the session hands-on and practical.

6. Feedback and Reflection: I encourage the student to share their thoughts on what they’ve learned and how they feel about the session. I offer feedback to help them fine-tune their approach, ensuring it fits their unique style.

7. Action Plan: Before we wrap up, we create a concrete action plan for what the student will work on between sessions. We outline specific steps and deadlines, so they leave feeling clear on what comes next.

8. Closing and Encouragement: I always end on a positive note, offering encouragement and reminding them of the progress they’ve made. We talk about the resources they can tap into as they continue working toward their goals.
