Read the first 7 Technology & Digital Tools flashcards as text

  1. Which consideration is MOST important when a coach selects a coaching management platform (CMP) for their practice?

    Answer: Data security, client confidentiality features, and workflow integration

    A CMP must protect client data and integrate smoothly into the coach's workflow to support ethical, efficient practice.

  2. A virtual coaching client reports feeling disconnected during sessions. Which technological adjustment would MOST likely help?

    Answer: Improving video quality and using interactive digital tools to increase engagement

    Better video quality and interactive tools (whiteboards, polls) create a more connected and engaging virtual environment.

  3. What is the BEST practice when a coach stores client intake forms digitally?

    Answer: Store encrypted forms with access limited to the coach and authorized personnel

    Encrypted, access-controlled digital storage protects sensitive client information from unauthorized access.

  4. A coach uses social media to market their practice. What ICF-aligned boundary should the coach maintain?

    Answer: Keep professional marketing separate from personal client relationships online

    Mixing personal social media connections with active clients risks blurring professional boundaries and compromising confidentiality.

  5. Which scenario represents an APPROPRIATE use of AI-generated tools in coaching?

    Answer: Using AI to generate session reflection prompts that the coach reviews and customizes

    AI tools can support coaching preparation when the coach reviews and personalizes the output before using it with clients.

  6. What should a coach do if a technological failure occurs mid-session and cannot be resolved quickly?

    Answer: Apologize, switch to the pre-agreed backup method, and continue the session

    Executing a pre-agreed backup plan maintains professionalism and ensures the client's session value is preserved.

  7. How does using a structured digital feedback tool after sessions MOST benefit an ICF-aligned coaching practice?

    Answer: It provides measurable client insights that help the coach continuously improve their approach

    Structured feedback tools generate actionable data that coaches can use for ongoing reflective practice and service improvement.
