The goal is to avoid any discrepancies between the coach and the client’s feelings and to correct course if a discrepancy is felt. Reflection also involves eliciting commitment from the client.
The content of the reflection is “what I noticed,” “what was clarified,” “what was not clarified,” and “what was organized” throughout the session, which is shared between the coach and the client. In addition, the coach himself/herself will always ask for feedback from the client about the coaching session in order to gain insights.
Here are some sample questions.
“How do you feel about how we’ve talked so far?”
“What have you noticed, organized, or clarified as a result of our conversation?”
“What have you accomplished throughout this time?”
And, to encourage clients to continue to take action, we also deliver the following message: “If you take the actions you decided on today, please let us know.
“Would you be willing to let us know when you have completed the action you decided to take today?”
“What can I do to support you to ensure your action?
“If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me at any time.”

It is important to note that the “theme and goal setting” at the start of the session is crucial to make this evaluation more effective.
At the end of the session, based on the confirmation of the goals set at the start, an evaluation is conducted with the following question: “Are you satisfied with this coaching session?
“What was your level of satisfaction with this coaching session?”
“How do you feel now in relation to the session goals that were initially discussed?”
“What is your level of achievement toward the session goal?”
“You mentioned that you had a high level of goal attainment, what was the key to achieving this goal?”
“You rated my goal attainment low. Can you please give me some feedback so that I can notice it as well?”
“Do you have any suggestions or requests for our next session?”
The key to a meaningful ongoing coaching session is the “review” and “evaluation.
