Coaching sessions & the S.P.O.R.T. canvas¶
Audience: coaches. Run a 1:1 session, capture notes and outputs, and clock the time.
Everything here is under the Coaching tab in the coach dashboard.
Sessions¶
Coaching → Coaching Sessions. A session is the record of a 1:1 with a coachee — notes, outputs, and time. - Plan a duration when you schedule the session — the hours are clocked from that planned duration, so a forgotten "End" doesn't lose the time. - Add session notes as you go.
The S.P.O.R.T. coaching canvas¶
Coaching → S.P.O.R.T. Canvas (also reachable per session). A visual, single-page canvas you fill with the coachee across five zones on a 3×3 grid:
- State — where they are right now.
- Possibilities — where they want to get to.
- Obstacles — what's in the way.
- Resources — what they can draw on.
- Taken action — what they'll actually do.
A diagonal S → P "visual momentum" arrow runs from State to Possibilities to keep the session moving forward. It autosaves as you type; on mobile it stacks into one column. The coachee's view is read-only — you drive it.
- Edit a point: the pencil beside a bullet turns it into a text box. Press Enter (or click away) to save, Escape to cancel; use × to delete it.
- On a computer the boxes grow as you add points, and a long list scrolls inside its box.
Turn a canvas into content. From the canvas you can use the AI assist to draft an imagery or affirmation script from what you captured — see AI assists. You review and edit before anything is saved; nothing is sent to the coachee automatically. If you're in the song test, Make a song sits beside it and opens the song maker on top of the session — see Make a song for a client.
Session report¶
The session's View session report step opens a report for that session: tabs for This session, Check-ins and Profiles, each showing what you recorded in this session, then the usual report and a trend over the client's whole history. Only check-ins and profiles you record from inside the session (through Run a profiling) appear on it; ones made before 25-Oct-2026, or by the client on their own, are on the client's page as usual.
Hours¶
Reviewed sessions and facilitation feed your hours ledger (and, for IAPCF members, count toward PD hours). Hours are credited on a time-window basis, not calendar-day, so late submissions still count correctly.
Good to know¶
- Where do my session outputs live? Notes attach to the session; scripts you generate from the canvas land in your imagery/affirmation library (then you assign them).
- Async instead of live? See Async coaching for the threaded, not-in-real-time option.
