What's the value of video coaching summaries?

Four groups of people benefit from coaching video summaries

Coaching summary videos, such as the ones we make for the Service Design Master of the HSLU, offer a multitude of unique benefits that make them a significant asset in the coaching community.

1. It’s a win for the coachee: they get a summarised version of the coaching and can even « steal » elements from the other coaching sessions.
2. It’s a win for the coach: you do a synthesis exercise, which is obviously always welcome to sharpen your practice.
3. It’s a win for people interested in coaching: they can experience it before they’re ready to commit.
4. It’s a win for the community: as we get more insights and knowledge shared to the community :)

How to quickly shoot and edit coaching video summaries

Those coaching summary videos aren’t that hard to do for me because:

1. I already do remote coaching, so I already have a webcam and mic, I can use the same setup
2. I already take some visual notes during your coaching session with Miro. This means I already have the key points of what I could say, I just need to select two or three points I'll share in the video.
3. I do them right after the coaching sessions. Things are still fresh in my mind.
4. I use Descript to record it and then quickly get out of it the « filler words », « blank moments ». It makes the editing super fast.
