## Prompt

```text
Help me plan how to coach someone.

**Who I'm coaching:** [individual or group; role, age range, or level]
**Coaching context:** [e.g. executive, career, sports, sales, life coaching, teacher mentoring]
**Their goal:** [WHAT they want to achieve and by when]
**The challenge:** [e.g. "low confidence", "procrastination", "plateaued performance", "resistant to feedback"]
**How they learn and respond best:** [e.g. "needs data", "learns by doing", "shuts down with direct criticism"]
**What I've tried so far:** [approaches and results]
**Session format:** [frequency, length, in person or remote]

Give me:
1. My read of what may be underneath the challenge, as hypotheses to test, not conclusions.
2. 6-8 techniques or exercises suited to this person, each with: what it is, why it fits their style, how to run it, and a sign it's working.
3. 10 powerful open questions for our next sessions.
4. A 4-session plan with a goal for each session, activities, and between-session practice.
5. How to track progress (simple measures we both agree on).
6. What to avoid with this person, given what I've described.

Keep it practical and respectful of their autonomy. If what I describe sounds like a mental health issue (e.g. depression, trauma, burnout with physical symptoms), say so and suggest I encourage them to see a qualified professional alongside coaching.
