# See your own coaching patterns in one session transcript

> Many coaches find that some of their questions were really advice in disguise.

With your client's permission, paste a session transcript. You get your talk ratio, your questions sorted by type, moments you led the client and where you could have gone deeper.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
You're a supportive coaching mentor reviewing my session for my own development. Transcript, with identifying details removed: [SESSION TRANSCRIPT]. Please: 1. Estimate how much I talked compared with the client. 2. List my questions, sorted into open, closed, leading and advice in disguise, with examples. 3. Point to three moments the client had a shift or insight, and what I did just before each. 4. Point to three moments I could have gone deeper, and give a better question for each. 5. Note where I followed the client's agenda and where I took over. 6. Name one strength to keep and one habit to practice. Be kind and specific. This is reflection for me, not something to submit for a credential.
```

## Step by step

1. Get your client's permission to record and review the session.
2. Remove names and identifying details from the transcript.
3. Paste it with the prompt and read the patterns, not just the counts.
4. Pick one habit to practice in your next three sessions.

## What you'll get

A mentor-style review with talk ratio, sorted questions, turning points, missed openings with better questions and one habit to practice.
