Life coaching templates in Ember Console: your letterhead, your sections, and a test for each one
The life coaching templates that rank on Google are pages you download. The one in Ember Console is your letterhead, your sections, and a test beside each of them.
Life coaching templates in Ember Console are your own letterhead plus the sections you already send a client, and each section has a prompt and a test that says when the writing is finished. Ember Console is a session-report builder for coaches, and it is in closed beta.
What templates do life coaches use?
Two kinds, going by what ranks and what coaches say: downloadable worksheets, and templates they built themselves.
PositivePsychology’s 18 Life Coaching Templates ranks first on Google for the term, with Canva and The Coaching Tools Company’s forms in the same top ten. One r/lifecoaching poster says they mostly use their own templates plus a whiteboard like Miro. That is one coach’s account, not a measure of the trade.
None of those pages can hold a standard: the line that says when a section is finished. A download never needed one. The standard becomes necessary once something else does the writing, and in Ember Console it sits beside the box as its eval.
What should a life coaching session template include?
It should include the sections you already send a client, and beside each one the test that says that section is done. Here is mine, in three columns: section, prompt, test.
| Section | Prompt | Test |
|---|---|---|
| What the client brought | Name the situation the client opened with, in their words. | One situation, no advice added. |
| What shifted | Say what the client saw differently by the end. | A change the client said out loud, not one I inferred. |
| Commitments | List what the client agreed to do by next session. | Every line has an action and a date. |
| What comes next | Name the thread to pick up next time. | One thread, tied to a commitment above. |
The first two columns are familiar work; the third is the one coaches rarely write down. One prompt and one eval per section is how a box is put together.
Setting the template up goes in this order:
- Put your letterhead in the template.
- Make one box per section, in report order.
- Write that box’s prompt, then its test.
- Let the AI you already use fill every box.
- Edit the result in Ember’s editor.
The last two steps are the part ChatGPT alone leaves to you. Ember gives ChatGPT, Claude or Littlebird every prompt and the eval system at once, and the AI rewrites a box until it passes your standard. Seconds after the session ends, the draft is on your own letterhead. Ember’s landing page puts it this way: “Refine the report directly in Ember’s editor, and your next report will be created with those past edits and preferences already in mind.”
What is not stated yet?
Two day-one questions go past the product facts, and the fact sheet that would answer them is empty.
- Whether a ready-made life-coaching starter template ships, or whether the first one is yours to build.
- Which languages a report can be written in. The landing page lists language preferences and stops there.
So write the test column first, in your own words. The prompt can be rewritten any week, and the standard is what you have kept in your head since your first client.
Questions people ask next?
Where can I get printable life coaching templates?
Canva, PositivePsychology and The Coaching Tools Company all hand out downloadable ones, and three of the top eight Google results are pages of that kind. They give you a shape to start from, without your letterhead or your tests.
Is there a life coaching templates pdf?
A report comes out of Ember Console in many file types. The product facts I can cite name none of them, so treat PDF as unconfirmed.
