Signature practices

The curriculum is in the source course; this section names the practices and links to the lessons that teach them.

  • Reflection / Naming / Clarity (not advice) — the three things a client can expect; the one thing they cannot. See Reflection (in coaching), Naming, Clarity; source: lesson 2-2-reflection-naming-clarity.md.
  • Week-over-week performance feedback — direct, regular observation of whether agreed-upon changes are actually happening, delivered as data without softening. See Week-over-week performance feedback; source: lesson 2-3-week-over-week-performance-feedback.md.
  • Explicit scope statement — names what the engagement is and isn't (not therapy, crisis support, or medical / legal / financial advice); first move on a scope-crossing is referral, not extension. See Scope; source: lessons 3-1 through 3-4.
