Which term describes the specific topic or outcome chosen for a single session or stretch of sessions, agreed early?

• A. Reflect-Focus-Plan
• B. Affirmation
• C. Coaching Focus
• D. Closure

Answer: (C)

Coaching Focus describes the specific topic or outcome you’ll work on during one session or a series of sessions, and it’s agreed with the client at the start. This focus sets the session’s direction, shaping the questions you ask, the activities you choose, and how you measure progress. By agreeing on it early, both coach and client have a shared target, which creates clarity, momentum, and accountability for that stretch of work. The other terms don’t capture this targeting of a particular topic or outcome: Reflect-Focus-Plan is more of a process name than the defined session aim; Affirmation is about boosting confidence in the moment; Closure is about ending the session and summarizing commitments.
