Write Reflection Questions for Clients
ChatGPT Prompt
Write reflection questions on {topic} for {client_type} to work through between sessions. Provide three tiers: surface questions that are easy to start with, deeper questions that require genuine thought, and the one or two questions a client will want to avoid — which are usually the useful ones. Make every question open, singular (not three questions stacked into one), and free of the assumption that there is a right answer. Include the instruction on how to use them — written rather than mental, timeboxed, without editing — and what to do when a question produces nothing. Add the coach's guidance on following up on a reflection without turning it into homework marking.
💡 Pro Tip: Replace placeholders in [BRACKETS] with your specific information for best results.

Design a Weekly Review Process
Design a 45-minute weekly review for a {role}. Structure it in three parts: clear (empty inboxes, notes and capture tools to zero), reflect (what moved forward, what stalled and why, what you said yes to that you should have declined, and where the week's hours actually went versus intention), and plan (next week's two or three outcomes, the calendar blocks that make them possible, and what will be dropped to create room). Give the exact prompt questions for each part. Add the fixed time and place that makes it stick, the minimum 10-minute version for weeks when it cannot happen properly, and the monthly and quarterly questions layered on top — while keeping the weekly version genuinely short.
Write Goal-Setting Worksheets for Clients
Create a client goal-setting worksheet for {coaching_niche}. Move from vague desire to committed action in stages: what they want and — crucially — why it matters to them rather than to someone else, what specifically will be different when they have it, the current position honestly stated, the obstacles including the internal ones, the resources and support available, the first three actions with dates, and how progress will be measured. Include the questions that surface a goal someone has adopted from others rather than chosen, and the trade-off question: what will you stop doing to make room for this? Add a commitment statement, an accountability structure, and a review page for revisiting the goal without treating revision as failure.
Develop Accountability Check-In Questions
Write accountability check-in questions for {coaching_context} on a {frequency} cadence. Provide three sets: the standard check-in, the one for a client who has hit their commitments, and — most importantly — the one for a client who has not, written to explore the obstacle rather than to induce shame, because shame reliably ends the coaching relationship. Include questions that surface whether the commitment was too large, poorly timed, or not genuinely theirs. Add the pattern-recognition questions for repeated misses across sessions, the recalibration conversation when a goal is no longer right, and guidance on holding a boundary without becoming the client's disappointed parent.
Create a Career Transition Coaching Program
Design a 12-session career transition program for someone moving from {current_role} toward {target_direction}. Phase it: clarify (values, strengths, non-negotiables, and the honest reason for leaving — running from something needs different work than running toward), explore (research, informational interviews, small reality-testing experiments before committing), prepare (narrative, CV, portfolio, skill gaps), and execute (search strategy, applications, negotiation, and the first 90 days). Give each session an outcome, the core questions, and between-session fieldwork. Address the financial runway plainly, the identity loss that accompanies leaving a role, and the family conversations. Add the checkpoint where the honest answer might be to stay and change the current role instead.
Write Limiting Beliefs Identification Exercises
Create exercises to help a {client_type} identify limiting beliefs about {domain}. Provide four: a sentence-completion exercise that surfaces beliefs the client would not state directly, an evidence audit testing a belief against actual history, an origin exercise tracing where the belief came from and whether it was ever accurate, and a reframe that is credible rather than a forced positive — since an unbelievable affirmation strengthens the original belief. For each, give the instructions, the coach's follow-up questions, and what to do when the exercise surfaces significant distress. Add the distinction between a limiting belief and an accurate assessment of a real constraint, because treating the second as the first does genuine harm.
Design a Values Clarification Worksheet
Build a values clarification worksheet for {client_type}. Use three converging methods rather than a list to tick: peak experience analysis (what was present when you felt most alive), the frustration inventory (what consistently angers you reveals a violated value), and forced-ranking trade-offs between values that genuinely conflict — security against adventure, achievement against connection. Then the reality test: where does your calendar and spending actually reflect these, and where is the gap? Finish with 5–7 values each defined in the client's own sentence rather than a single abstract word, plus one behavioural commitment per value. Include the coach's guidance on sitting with the discomfort the gap produces instead of resolving it too quickly.
