HeCoaching Tools document used by Business Coach Andi Robertsre is a sample of coaching tools used by Andi Roberts in his work as a business coach (Click the word logo):

Coaching does not have to be pure conversation. As a coach I often ask people to draw, culture and doodle. The activities that are placed in the document, I may use during a session. I often ask  clients to work on these outside of the session and bring the results and insights gained to a follow on coaching session. There are a whole range of coaching tools that I use and these are just some. If appropriate I also use 360 degree feedback or psychometric assessments.
