A goal your Head Coach can see, and nudge

Choose what to share, and get a prompt when it goes quiet.

A goal a coach chooses to share with their Head of Coaching, with the steps under it.

When

At the start of a development block.

Why

Sharing is the coach's choice and can be withdrawn. Nothing is shared quietly, which is why coaches accept it.

The mistake most coaches make

Sharing everything. A goal you share is a goal somebody will ask about, and three shared goals you actually want help with beat ten that turn every conversation into a progress check.

  1. 1

    You share one goal

  2. 2

    Two weeks pass with no movement

  3. 3

    Head Coach sees it has gone quiet

  4. 4

    One question, not a review

How a nudge happens

In practice

"Ask more than I tell in the first twenty minutes." Shared, with two milestones under it, and a Head Coach who can offer to come and watch.

Shared goals

Open it and try it on one session

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