Template: Coach Form For Client [Intake & Follow-up] [Example]

Do you want an intake form for your coaching practice? Here you will find an example of a coaching form, including sample questions to use in your intake form. Read further…

The importance of an intake form / coach form

An intake form is essential because it helps your client spend a longer time thinking about how the client expresses his / her challenge and communicates to you. This allows you to skip a lot of hassle and you can immediately take big steps in the first appointment.

An intake form also places the coach client in an active attitude. He / she has a real task and in this way actually invests by putting effort into it. Moreover, you can process even more messages in the intake form with which you manage the expectations of the client. For example, you can write that the client really needs to put in time and energy.
