How to Access My Coaching Programs in the Client Portal

When you have enrolled in a Coaching Program, you'll be able to have access to any files, resources, notes, goals, assignments, forms, etc that your Coach has shared with you as part of the program.

To access a Coaching Program:

1. Click on 'Coaching Programs' on the left menu.
2. On the 'In progress' tab, click on the program card (see image below).

    Note: If you are enrolled in more than one coaching program, you will see more than one program card. Click on the           desired program card.

   3. You will be taken to the program management page

On the program management page you can see :

1. Your Coach's name.

2. The 'Start Date' and 'End Date' of the program.

   Note: If your Coach has not set a start date or end date for the program, you will 'TBD', which stands for 'To Be                  Determined'.

3. The progress of the program in terms of the number of sessions (or hours) completed.

4. Your Notes, Forms, Goals, Assignments, Resources, Sessions and Activity Log for the program. See the section below for more information about each of these items.

The program management page enables 2-way collaboration between Coach and Client. It is dynamically updated whenever content is shared between Coach and Client.

Anything that is created or shared on the program management page will be instantaneously available in your coach's portal and vice versa.

The table below describes who has rights to create an item and who can take action for a particular item:

Notes

You or your Coach can take notes. Notes can be 'Private Notes' (these notes are not shared with your Coach), or 'Shared Notes' (you have the option to share your notes with your Coach).

To create a new note:

1. Click the 'New Note' button.
2. Type in your notes using the text editor.
3. Click 'Save'.
4. Click the 3-dot button if you wish to delete the note or share the note with your Coach.

The 'Comments' field can be used as further communication with your Coach, or if you wish to add your own comments / thoughts to the note.

Forms

If your Coach has sent you a form to complete, it will appear in the 'Forms' ribbon.

For more details on how to respond to Forms, refer to the article 'How to Respond to Forms'.

Goals

To create a goal:

1. Click on the 'Goals' ribbon in the sub-menu to open the Goals page.
2. Click the 'Create New Goal' button to set up a new goal for yourself.
3. Enter Name, Description (optional) and Due Date (optional) of the goal.
4. Click 'Save'.

Once a Goal is created, it will be automatically displayed in both yours and your Coach’s program management page, on the Active Goals tab.

An email notification will be sent automatically to your Coach whenever you create/edit/make changes to a goal.

Create Milestones

You can optionally add 'Milestones' to goals. This allows you to break down a high level goal into smaller steps (or milestones) that you need to complete before the high level goal itself is marked as 'completed'.

To create goal milestones:

click '+Milestone'. A pop-up window will open to add the Name and Due Date (optional) for the Milestone.

Select the 'pencil' icon to edit a milestone or click the 'trashcan' icon to delete it.

To mark a Milestone as completed, simply check the checkbox on the left-side of the Milestone.

As milestones get checked off as Completed, the milestone completion bar progresses automatically and displays the percentage completion of all milestones.

If you wish to mark a milestone as 'Not Completed', you can simply uncheck the checkbox by clicking on it again. This will move the milestone progress bar back to reflect the new percentage completion of all milestones.
