The goal-setting session

The goal-setting session is the meeting in which the general direction of the process is drawn. Here the client clarifies what they want to achieve with coaching and where they want to be at the end of the process. This session serves as a compass; the coming sessions are positioned according to this direction, and progress is assessed against this goal. When the goal stays unclear from the start, the process can advance in a scattered way and its effect become unmeasurable. The coach helps the client set a meaningful goal that truly belongs to them.
