On the last day of your class, you will have the opportunity to coach someone you have never worked with before. This person will be a Volunteer Client one of your classmates has recruited. You will get a lot of practice coaching during the class with your classmates, so this gives you an opportunity to work with someone new. In order to make this work, we need YOU to recruit a Volunteer to be a COACHEE for this capstone exercise.
We ask Volunteer Clients to be available on Friday, November 7th from:
7:15 – 8:30 am PST | 8:15 – 9:30 am MST | 9:15 – 10:30 am CST | 10:15 – 11:30 am EST
Please PREPARE your Volunteer by explaining the following to them:
- Describe the nature of coaching (it’s not advising, consulting, or mentoring)
- Ask them to bring a meaningful topic to be coached on; e.g., decisions they need to make, difficult conversations they need to have, challenging relationships, problem they don’t have annobvious solution for or really anything that may be irritating them.
- Assure them that they will NOT be coached by you and that everything they share in their session is absolutely confidential.
- Share the Volunteer Registration Form for them to complete and return by the date below.
- Ask them to be prompt and available at the phone number provided. Even though we may start a few minutes after the scheduled time, it is helpful for your Volunteer to be settled in a quiet, private place a little ahead of schedule.
The sessions are about an hour long including a short verbal “agreement” at the beginning and a request for feedback at the end. All sessions are virtual. The Assigned Coach will call your Volunteer Client at the first number listed on their Volunteer Client Registration Form.
Here is a short 5-minute video to give you and them some more information:

We MUST have their Volunteer Client Registration Form completed and returned to studentsupport@positivecoach.com NO LATER THAN October 24th, 2025.
If your Volunteer has any questions or unexpectedly runs into a problem at the last minute, please have them immediately call or text one of the Positive Coaching faculty or staff:
- Mina Brown @ 214-287-5577
- Cheryl Close @ 469-323-6060
- Michelle Baird @ 915-276-9973
The better you prepare your Volunteer Client, the more successful your classmate will be in achieving a meaningful and confidence-building session.
Hopefully they will do the same for you.
