VITALS FOR COACHES & ADVISORS
A stronger starting point for every relationship.
Start with a deeper understanding and practical ways to reflect, explore, and connect the dots throughout the work you do together.
Your practice. Your approach. A more useful foundation.
FIRST SESSION
Example
Profile Pattern
Prefers to think things through independently before committing.
In a Session
A pause may mean they are processing. Give them room to reflect before asking for a decision.
Opening Question
“When has working something through on your own helped you—and when would another perspective have helped?”
Prepared from a shared VITALS profile and context
First-Session Brief
Go beyond just a report
Before you meet, turn your participants shared VITALS profile into a practical briefing. Understand the patterns worth exploring, consider how to approach the conversation, and arrive with questions tailored to the person.
Read it before you meet. Print it to bring into the session.
01
The patterns to listen for
A concise snapshot of the client’s defining patterns, with notes on how they may show up in a coaching conversation.
02
The nuances behind the result
Where supported by the profile, the brief highlights aspects of the same trait that pull in different directions, details an overall result can obscure.
03
A more considered approach
Guidance on what may resonate, what may create resistance, and how to approach challenge and feedback.
04
Questions with a purpose
Five or six opening questions grounded in the client’s profile. Each includes what the answer could help you understand, inviting the client to connect the patterns to their own experience.
Built from the profile your client has chosen to share. The brief offers starting points to explore, rather than conclusions about the client.
YOU'RE IN CONTROL
We provide the platform. You own the relationship.
VITALS is designed to strengthen the relationship between you and those you support. They decide what to share and your data stays private
- VITALS does not claim ownership of your relationships
- Data is not sold to advertisers or data brokers
- Participants choose what to share and when
- Use alongside your methods. You decide how to bring them into the relationship.
Partner pricing is designed so clients receive VITALS through your practice at a price below the equivalent consumer offering.
TWO PEOPLE. A SHARED STARTING POINT.
Start with an understanding of both people.
Bring two VITALS profiles into the conversation. For couples, business partners or colleagues, our Profile Comparison tool provides a starting point for exploring how each person approaches decisions, communication and everyday interactions.
“You tend to work through your thoughts privately before sharing them. Time to reflect can help you explain what matters.”
“You tend to find clarity by talking things through. Exchanging ideas can help you understand what you think.”
One may need space. The other may want to talk.
Explore how both can feel heard without expecting the same response at the same moment.
Explore together
Both profiles on the table, both people in the conversation.
Each person brings their own experience to what the comparison raises. The coach guides the session so that both perspectives shape what the profiles come to mean.
01
See where they align and differ
Explore the profiles together to understand shared tendencies and differences in what each person values, how they process information, and how they approach action.
02
Give recurring friction some context
Use those differences to explore situations where expectations, pace or communication may collide. Invite both people to connect the insights to their own experiences.
03
Build practical agreements together
Turn the discussion into ways to communicate, make decisions and support one another that take both people’s tendencies into account.
A baseline for a better conversation, not a compatibility score or a verdict on the relationship.
Beyond the First Session
Give clients something they can keep working with.
A report is a static starting point. VITALS gives your clients tools to keep reflecting, exploring, and taking action between sessions, with your guidance connected to the experience.
Together in your sessions
A shared foundation for your work
With the client’s permission, view their personality insights to prepare for conversations, explore patterns together and adapt your approach.
Your expertise guides the relationship. VITALS helps clients carry the work forward.
Profile access does not include their private Ask VITALS conversations.
Between sessions
Private space to explore
Clients can use Ask VITALS to reflect on decisions, relationships and everyday challenges. Their messages stay private, giving them room to think things through and choose what to bring into your sessions.
Your recommendations, within reach
Introduce recommended resources into the client’s resource section. Give them a place to return to the reading, exercises and tools you suggest.
Action items that stay visible
Leave agreed next steps in the platform, where they appear on the client’s home screen. Help the work from a session carry into everyday life.
Tools they can return to
Beyond their personality insights, clients can explore Ask VITALS, Profile Comparisons and relevant lenses as new questions arise. The value continues as their circumstances and priorities change.
