Read the first 7 Treatment Planning flashcards as text

  1. A newly separated client says she wants to 'feel better about everything.' What is the coach's best first step in building the coaching plan?

    Answer: Help her turn the broad wish into specific, measurable goals

    Effective coaching plans convert vague wishes into concrete, measurable goals the client can act on.

  2. In a SMART goal, what does the 'T' stand for?

    Answer: Time-bound

    SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

  3. Which goal is most appropriate for a divorce coaching action plan?

    Answer: Gather the last 12 months of bank statements by Friday

    It is within the client's control, specific, and time-bound, unlike outcomes that depend on others.

  4. During planning, a client discloses thoughts of self-harm. What should the coach do?

    Answer: Pause coaching, follow safety protocols, and refer to a mental health or crisis professional

    Safety risks fall outside coaching scope and require immediate referral to qualified professionals.

  5. Why should a divorce coach prioritize goals with the client rather than tackling all of them at once?

    Answer: Divorce clients often feel overwhelmed and progress best with a manageable focus

    Focusing on a few priority goals reduces overwhelm and builds momentum.

  6. Who ultimately owns the goals in a divorce coaching plan?

    Answer: The client

    Coaching is client-centered, so the client chooses and owns the goals.

  7. Which item is best placed on the coach's referral list rather than in the coaching plan itself?

    Answer: Determining the tax consequences of keeping the house

    Tax analysis requires a CPA or financial professional, not a coach.
