Life coaching worksheets clients actually finish.
Most worksheet packs fail for the same reason: they are too long, they arrive all at once, and nobody mentions them again. These eight hold up in a real practice — with the cadence that gets them completed.
Eight worksheets worth keeping
2
Values worksheet
When: When the client is successful and restless.
Why it works: Names the values, then tests them against the last month of real decisions. The gap is the session.
3
Time audit worksheet
When: Week one of any 'no time' engagement.
Why it works: One week of logged hours next to stated priorities. Nothing argues better than the client's own calendar.
4
Obstacle worksheet
When: When a goal has stalled twice.
Why it works: The client lists blockers and rates how movable each one is; you stop coaching the ones they do not own.
5
GROW worksheet
When: Between sessions, as structured homework.
Why it works: Goal, Reality, Options, Will. Filled in alone it produces options the client believes, not options you suggested.
6
Future self letter
When: Mid-engagement, when direction is fuzzy.
Why it works: A letter written from twelve months ahead. Clients tell the truth to their future self more easily than to a coach.
7
Daily check-in sheet
When: Continuous, sixty seconds a day.
Why it works: Low effort by design. The streak, not the content, is what changes behaviour.
8
Ikigai worksheet
When: Career transitions.
Why it works: Four circles, one question at a time. Done slowly it beats any personality test for direction.
How to assign them so they get done
- One worksheet per session. Two is a signal that you are unsure which one matters.
- Give a date, not a deadline shaped like 'before we next speak'.
- Keep it under ten minutes of the client's time.
- Open the next call with their own words from the sheet.
- Repeat the same sheet later instead of introducing a new one — comparison is the value.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find free life coaching worksheets?
Coach Club's Wheel of Life template is free to download and print with no sign-up, and every worksheet in the platform is open during the 14-day free trial. Be careful with random PDF packs: most are unlicensed copies, and they give you no history across sessions.
How do I get clients to actually complete worksheets?
Assign one at a time, make it shorter than the client expects, tie it to a date rather than 'before next session', and open the next call with what they wrote. A worksheet you never mention again teaches the client that it was optional.
Printable PDF or digital worksheet?
Paper wins inside the room because it slows the client down. Digital wins between sessions because it captures the week honestly and keeps every round, so you can compare month three with month one.
Can I use these worksheets with group or team clients?
Yes. The Wheel of Life and the values worksheet both have team variants: everyone scores individually, then you work with the spread rather than the average — the disagreement is the material.
Is it safe to store client worksheets online?
It depends on the vendor. Coach Club stores data inside the EU under GDPR, the client owns their own records, and they can export or delete everything from their own login even after the engagement ends.
