The end of the year is usually a moment of reflection for many people. Coaching clients may bring up in their sessions the need to review the past year and set intentions for the new one.
As reflective and curious beings, coaches may also experience this urge to pause and reflect. If you find yourself in this position, we wanted to support you in your reflection by asking 50 questions that will expand your year in review, and hopefully help you grow as a coach and a professional.
