Analysis of recorded coaching sessions: each coach's method and clips for the training
Coaching sessions were recorded, but nobody had time to watch them: what was said stayed a black box. They are now analysed with a common grid, which draws out each coach’s method, timed clips for the training and a profile of each coach.
In figures
- 7coaches analysed, then compared
- 18sessions analysed from their full transcript
- 30timed clips ready for the training
- 60+coach suggestions posted on client records
The client
A training company supports its clients through video coaching sessions. Its coaches are former professionals in the field, chosen for their results and free to run their sessions their own way. Every session is recorded and transcribed automatically.
The starting point
The recordings piled up without being used. Each coach had free rein, with no common framework, and nobody on the team had time to watch hours of video: what was really passed on in sessions remained unknown.
Why it was a problem
There was no way to know what worked, to align the coaching from one coach to another, or to reuse the best moments in the training. Good practice stayed in each coach’s head, and the team that assigns a coach to a new client only had gut feeling to go on.
What was built
The approach
- A common analysis gridEvery session is read with the same grid: method, tools, practical advice, coaching style. Always from the full transcript, never from a summary.
- Coach by coach, then side by sideOne analysis per coach first, then a synthesis comparing all seven, to separate what they share from what is specific to each.
- Never make anything upA session with no substance produces no sheet, and one coach’s content is never inferred from another’s.
- Follow the real needWhen management preferred to draw on existing sessions rather than rewrite courses, the analysis shifted towards ready-to-use clips.
What was delivered
- An analysis sheet per session, and a synthesis per coach: their method, tools, advice and way of coaching.
- A cross-coach synthesis that separates the common framework, which can be passed on to every coach, from each coach’s own style.
- A selection of signature passages, timed at the start and the end, that the team can cut and drop straight into the training.
- A profile of each coach: how they coach and the blockers they best help clients overcome.
- On each new client’s record in the client file, a suggestion of three coaches with what each can bring them, for the team in charge of assignments.
What changed
- What is said in sessions is no longer a black box: management knows what each coach passes on.
- The training gains real clips, with nothing to film or rewrite.
- The common framework can be shared with every coach, and each coach’s style is documented.
- The team that assigns coaches has a reasoned suggestion for each new client, instead of starting from scratch.
Where these figures come from
Figures taken from the project log: 18 sessions analysed across 7 coaches, 30 clips delivered (6 per coach for 5 coaches), and 68 coach suggestions posted during the client record update of 6 August 2026.
