Seeing a coaching staff without reading anybody private notes

Club-level patterns, built only from what each coach chose to share.

Laurie Griffin··1 min read·Written for head coaches

Your whole coaching staff across the same ten domains, with engagement over time.

When

Before a development conversation, and before deciding where a budget goes.

Why

It turns a development budget from a guess into a decision you can defend, and it is exportable when an audit asks.

The mistake most coaches make

Asking the group who has shared and who has not. Consent stops being consent the moment it is visible, and a coach who feels counted will share a version of themselves rather than themselves.

  1. 1

    Coach opts in, privately

  2. 2

    Their domains join the club picture

  3. 3

    Head Coach sees the pattern

  4. 4

    Head Coach never sees a private note

What a Head Coach sees, and does not

In practice

A Head of Coaching found six of eight coaches weakest in the same domain. That is one workshop, not eight conversations.

Head Coach view

Open it and try it on one session

You will not get anything out of a single entry, and that is the honest answer. Head Coach view is inside the platform. Setting up takes a couple of minutes and needs no payment details.
