Coaching Client Feedback Form Template
A coaching client feedback form helps executive and leadership coaches learn what is landing in their sessions, what to adjust mid-engagement, and how clients describe the value of working together. In Evaluation Guru, you can run this form about yourself using the built-in 360° Performance Review template, letting clients reply in writing or record a 3-minute browser video.

When to use this template
When to send a coaching client feedback form
Coaches spend their days gathering feedback for others, yet rarely have a frictionless way to collect structured feedback on their own coaching practice.
After the 3rd or 4th coaching session
Check whether the pace, challenge level, and session structure match what the client needs while there is still plenty of time to adjust.
End-of-engagement wrap-up
Capture a structured written or video reflection from the client and their executive sponsor as you close a 6- or 12-month engagement.
Annual practice review across active clients
Send a single anonymous round to 6–10 current and recent coaching clients to spot patterns in your coaching strengths and blind spots.
Recommended campaign setup
- Who the feedback is about
- You (the coach, consultant, or advisor)
- Who to invite

- Rater count & anonymity
- 1 client for named check-ins, or 5+ clients for an anonymous practice review (minimum 3 completed for anonymous)
- Recommended cadence
- Mid-engagement (Session 4) and at engagement completion
Sample Questions (10 included)
10 coaching client feedback form questions
When you select "Me" as the subject and choose the built-in 360° Performance Review template, your clients see the five core prompts (strengths, continue, start, stop, additional comments). The 10 coaching-specific questions below are prompts to guide respondents—you can add context or include several of them in the campaign description and personal note.
- 1Strengths · Coaching impact
“What has been the most valuable part of our coaching sessions so far?”
Why it works: Surfaces the moments and techniques that created real breakthroughs for the client.
- 2Strengths · Perspective shift
“Where have I helped you see a blind spot or challenge from a new angle?”
Why it works: Helps you understand how your questioning style lands from the client’s seat.
- 3Continue · Session structure
“What should I continue doing in how we structure our sessions and follow-ups?”
Why it works: Tells you which accountability and prep habits are worth keeping.
- 4Continue · Coaching presence
“What part of my coaching style helps you feel both supported and challenged?”
Why it works: Validates the balance between empathy and directness in your relationship.
- 5Start · Challenge level
“What should I start doing in our next sessions to push you further toward your goals?”
Why it works: Gives the client explicit permission to ask for tougher questions or tighter accountability.
- 6Start · Uncovered territory
“Is there a topic or stakeholder dynamic we haven’t spent enough time on that we should start tackling?”
Why it works: Uncovers high-priority issues the client may have hesitated to bring up.
- 7Start · Between-session rhythm
“How could I start making our between-session check-ins or action items more useful for your schedule?”
Why it works: Fine-tunes the practical mechanics of the engagement.
- 8Stop · Session friction
“What should I stop doing in our sessions because it feels less helpful or slows down your reflection?”
Why it works: Invites honest course-correction on habits like jumping to advice too early.
- 9Stop · Time allocation
“Where should I stop spending time during our calls so we can go deeper on your top priority?”
Why it works: Keeps coaching calls from drifting into status updates.

Why it works: Helps the client articulate concrete ROI in their own words—especially powerful on video.
Practical Facilitation Guide
Tips for getting honest feedback from coaching clients
How you frame the invitation, protect respondent anonymity, and follow up before the deadline matters just as much as the questions you ask.
When Anonymous Feedback is enabled, Evaluation Guru enforces a minimum of 3 completed responses before unlocking the report, hides individual completion statuses, and shuffles written answers.
1. Choose named mode for 1:1 check-ins and anonymous mode for cohorts
Because anonymous campaigns in Evaluation Guru require a minimum of 3 completed responses to unlock the report, use named mode when checking in with a single client, and save anonymous mode for surveying 5 or more past and current clients at once.
2. Turn on video responses for end-of-engagement reflections
When a coaching client records a 2-minute browser video about what changed in their leadership, you hear the energy and conviction in their voice—far richer than a two-line text box.
3. Ask for one mid-course adjustment explicitly
Clients often default to polite praise because they like their coach. In your personal note, tell them: "The most helpful gift you can give me is one concrete thing I should start or stop doing in our second half."
4. Pair with a quick Net Promoter Score round for sponsor check-ins
If you also want a 0–10 quantitative pulse from the HR or executive sponsor who hired you, run a separate 2-question Net Promoter Score campaign alongside your client form.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which Evaluation Guru template is best for a coaching client feedback form?
The built-in 5-question 360° Performance Review template works best when you want detailed developmental feedback on your coaching (strengths, continue, start, stop, and additional comments). If you prefer a quick 2-question loyalty score, use our Net Promoter Score template.
Why shouldn’t I turn on Anonymous Feedback when sending to just one client?
Evaluation Guru enforces a strict minimum-3 response threshold on anonymous campaigns so a single rater’s answers are never exposed. For a single client, leave Anonymous Feedback off so you can view their response immediately.
Can my client record a video response on their phone or laptop?
Yes. Respondents can record up to 3 minutes of video (up to 100 MB) directly in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari with no app install or login required.
How can I tailor the framing for my coaching engagement?
The sample questions on this page are prompts to guide your clients. You can include specific coaching context or prompts in the campaign description and personal note so respondents know what to focus on.
