Life coaches: plan coaching programme sessions

How life coaches can plan coaching programme sessions with online booking: a discovery call, then programme sessions booked from your list at the agreed rhythm.

5 min read

A coaching programme is a series: six or ten sessions over a few months, at a rhythm you agree with the client. If clients book each session themselves, the rhythm drifts and the programme loses momentum. With Book, prospects book a discovery call on your own booking page, and once they sign up, you book the programme sessions yourself so every date is in their calendar.

Discovery call and programme sessions

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

ServiceExample slotPlacesExample price
Discovery call30 min1Free
Programme session1 h1€90
Video programme session1 h1€90
Mid-point review45 min1Free

Durations and prices are examples. If the programme is sold as a package, leave the session price empty and agree the package price with the client; Book doesn't take payments.

Booking the programme from your list

After the discovery call, agree the number of sessions and the rhythm, such as every two weeks. Book the sessions yourself from your bookings list, all at once or a few at a time. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each session. Book doesn't send reminders, so those calendar files keep the programme on track.

Video sessions

Book doesn't create video links. Use a video session service and send your link by email. Rescheduling works across services, so an in-person session can switch to video.

Mid-point review

Halfway through, book a short review to check progress and adjust the plan. It can be a separate free service so it stands out in the client's calendar.

Discretion

Service names and notes appear in the client's calendar file. Use neutral names, such as "Session", and ask clients not to write personal details in the note.

Protecting your week

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open discovery calls at a few set times and keep the rest for programme clients you book yourself.

Changes

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the session from your list. State your notice policy in the description.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't take payments, sell packages, create video links or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with associates, create services per coach. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
