Starting Sessions Without a Scheduled Appointment

 

  For coaches

If you need to start a spontaneous session (not pre-scheduled) 

  1. From your left-hand menu, click Quick Session.
  2. Select one or more coachees (or a coachee group) and click Proceed.
  3. You will be redirected directly to the Coaching Notepad.
  4. Click Start Session to begin.
    • Once started, the session timer will automatically begin recording the duration.

  

 Important Notes

  • Availability Settings: Sessions can only be scheduled within the time slots you (or your coachee) have set in availability settings.
  • Video Integration: If Zoom or Teams are integrated, links will auto-populate in the invitation.
  • Notifications: Both email and platform notifications are sent to participants when a session begins.
  • Enterprise Admins: Admins can schedule sessions between coaches and coachees, but only the assigned coach can start the session.
