Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the intake assessment for different coaching niches?

Yes. You can create different assessment versions for executive coaching, life coaching, health coaching, or any specialty with questions tailored to each area.

Do clients need to learn Notion?

Not at all. The Notion workspace is set up so clients only interact with simple trackers and note fields. All the complex organization happens behind the scenes.

How does the coaching plan adapt over time?

As sessions progress and goals evolve, you update the plan in Notion. The system adjusts resource recommendations and milestone timelines based on client progress.
