A coaching session is a sincere conversation between the coach and the client (or group of clients). Usually, both sides sit opposite to each other (or in a circle in the case of a group). The conversation can also take place remotely or while walking outdoors.

Usually, clients talk about topics they care about: work, family, friends, hobbies, health, etc.

A good starting point is the client's needs, deliberations, well-being, others' feedback, or the coach's questions. As the conversation progresses, the main topic expands or narrows, but this does not necessarily mean that the coach and the client deviate from the agreed topic.

Depending on the learning style of the client, conversations can be accompanied by other activities, such as writing, sketching, drawing, acting, or movement.

Silence constitutes an integral part of the coaching process, allowing clients to stay with their feelings and thoughts. The coach is usually silent until the client signals one's readiness to continue the conversation.

It is completely natural to experience various feelings during sessions, such as anger, sadness, anxiety, peace, or joy. The emotions experienced during a conversation signal that the discussed topic is significant.
