How to Reflect on Your Coaching Conversations
How do you improve as a coach after your training is over?
In this introductory episode of Inside the Coaching Conversation, I share the reflective practice I use to learn from my coaching conversations. Rather than striving for perfect coaching, I focus on intentional practice—taking time to notice patterns, recognize strengths, explore growth edges, and become more aware of the impact I have on my clients.
You'll hear how I reflect immediately after sessions, when I use more structured reflection, how mentor coaching and coaching supervision have shaped my development, and how I use RaeNotes AI alongside my own observations to deepen my learning.
This reflection process is the foundation for every episode in this podcast. After each real coaching conversation, you'll hear the reflections I wrote as I considered what stood out, what I learned, and what I want to carry into future coaching sessions.
Whether you're preparing for an ICF credential, working to strengthen your coaching skills, or simply looking for practical ways to develop a reflective coaching practice, this episode provides the framework you'll hear throughout the other episodes.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why I make reflection a regular part of my coaching practice
- The questions I ask myself after coaching sessions
- How I use deliberate practice to strengthen my coaching skills
- How mentor coaching, coaching supervision, and AI fit into my learning process
- What to expect in future Inside the Coaching Conversation episodes
