Client Onboarding and Discovery Prompts

Design intake processes and assessments that surface what is really holding clients back and set the foundation for transformation.

Intake

Comprehensive Client Intake Process

Design a complete client intake process for a [COACHING_TYPE] coaching practice. I work with [TARGET_AUDIENCE] who typically come to me because [COMMON_CHALLENGES]. Create the following: 1. Pre-session intake questionnaire (15 to 20 questions) that uncovers their current situation, goals, past attempts, biggest obstacles, and what success looks like for them. Include both practical questions and deeper reflection questions. 2. Discovery call outline (45 minutes) with opening, exploration, and closing phases. Include the 5 most powerful questions to ask during discovery that reveal their true motivation and readiness. 3. Client assessment report template that summarizes their starting point, identifies their top 3 growth areas, and recommends a coaching pathway. 4. Onboarding email sequence (3 emails) that welcomes them, sets expectations, and prepares them for their first session. Make everything feel warm and professional, not clinical. The intake process should itself feel like the beginning of transformation.

Assessment

Coaching Readiness Assessment Tool

Create a self-assessment tool for potential [COACHING_NICHE] coaching clients. This tool should help both me and the client determine their readiness and starting point. Include: - 20 assessment questions across 4 dimensions: Awareness (do they understand their current situation), Motivation (are they ready to invest effort), Capacity (do they have the time and energy), and Support (do they have the environment to succeed) - Scoring rubric with clear definitions for each level (1 to 5) - Results interpretation guide with 3 tiers: Ready to Start, Needs Preparation, and Not Yet Ready - Personalized recommendations for each tier - A follow-up conversation framework based on their score The assessment should feel empowering regardless of score. Even "Not Yet Ready" should include actionable next steps.

Progress

Client Progress Tracking System

Design a progress tracking system for my [COACHING_TYPE] coaching clients who are working toward [TYPICAL_GOALS]. Create: - Baseline measurement template: what to assess at the start (quantitative and qualitative metrics) - Monthly check-in questionnaire (10 questions) that captures progress, challenges, wins, and shifts in perspective - Visual progress dashboard layout showing key metrics over time - 90-day transformation summary template that compares where they started to where they are now - Celebration milestones: define 5 to 7 meaningful progress markers worth acknowledging The system should make invisible progress visible. Clients often do not realize how far they have come until they see the data side by side.

For each resource include: - Resource name and format (worksheet, template, checklist, journal prompt, etc.) - When to use it (which phase of coaching, which situations) - Client-facing description (why this tool matters) - Complete content outline with all fields, questions, or sections - How I introduce this resource in a coaching session Resource categories to cover: - Self-reflection and awareness tools - Goal setting and action planning - Obstacle and mindset management - Progress tracking and celebration - Integration and habit building Make everything feel professional and premium.
