Free Coaching Workbook Template for Coaches
Looking for a free coaching workbook template you can customise for your own coaching business?
I’ve created a free coaching workbook template that gives you the pages and layouts you need to get started.
Open the template in Canva, customise it for your coaching business and use it to create a workbook for your 1:1 clients, coaching program, group program, workshop, course or membership.
What Can You Do With a Template?
The great thing about starting with an editable coaching workbook template is that you don’t have to decide what every page should look like before you begin.
You already have the basic layouts.
You can then use them to turn the ideas, questions and exercises you already use in your coaching into a resource your clients can work through.
For example, you might create a workbook that supports one specific coaching topic, or you could build a larger workbook that follows your client through a complete coaching program.
Once you’ve created a layout you like, you can also reuse it for future resources.
Your workbook becomes something you can adapt to the way you coach.
Make the Template Your Own in Canva
The coaching workbook Canva template is editable, so you can make it fit your own business.
You can:
- change the colours to match your brand
- choose your own fonts
- add your logo or business name
- change the headings
- replace the example text with your own content
- add your coaching questions and prompts
- add exercises and activities
- rearrange the pages
- duplicate pages you want to use more than once
- remove any pages you don’t need
Use Your Coaching Workbook With 1:1 Clients
Your workbook can become a resource that you use alongside your individual coaching sessions.
You might send your client a page to complete before a session, work through an exercise together during your call or give them something to explore afterwards.
You can also bring together the questions, activities and tools you regularly use with clients into one place.
Create a Workbook for Your Coaching Program
If you run a coaching program, your workbook can follow the program from beginning to end.
You might create a section for each module, week or stage.
Clients can then use their workbook alongside your sessions or teaching and keep their exercises, reflections and action plans together.
For example, a 12-week coaching program could have a workbook divided into 12 sections, with each section supporting that week’s topic.
Your coaching program workbook becomes a practical companion to the program rather than another separate resource.
Use it for a Group Coaching Program
A workbook also works well with group coaching.
Everyone can have the same resource while still completing the exercises in their own way.
You can direct members to particular pages during your sessions, give them activities to complete between calls and use the workbook to guide them through the different parts of your program.
It gives your program a structure that clients can follow at their own pace.
What Should You Put Inside Your Coaching Workbook?
This depends on what you want your workbook to help your clients do.
You might include reflection questions, coaching exercises, assessments, journal prompts, action plans, trackers, review pages or space for notes.
The important part is choosing content that fits the outcome you’re helping your client achieve.
If you want a full guide to planning the content of your workbook, I’ve created a separate guide on how to create a coaching workbook your clients will use.
That guide takes you through choosing your workbook outcome, mapping the journey, selecting coaching exercises and deciding what to include.
