The gap between how you think you sound and how you sound
A short reflection on delivery style, taken often enough to show a trend.
Twelve themes of coaching practice, rated after a session, each mapped to the academic framework behind it.
When
Whenever you want the theory rather than the feeling.
Why
It connects what you did on Tuesday to the frameworks the profession is built on, which is what a badge assessor is asking about.
The mistake most coaches make
Answering as the coach you want to be. Nobody sees this but you, and a flattering answer costs you the one thing the tool is for.

In practice
Rate the twelve, then read which framework each one belongs to. It is the fastest route from practice to the language of coach education.
Style Reflections
Open it and try it on one session
You will not get anything out of a single entry, and that is the honest answer. Style Reflections is inside the platform. Setting up takes a couple of minutes and needs no payment details.
