Coach guides
Step-by-step guides for getting the most from Grove — from your first client to your smoothest week.
Get started
- Get startedGet set up and coach yourself first
A working Grove account with your intake saved, a starter playbook adopted, your first check-in and Daily Pulse behind you, and a few days of your own coaching rhythm logged, so you already know what your future clients will experience before you invite one.
- Get startedImport your existing client roster
Every client from your old system uploaded from a CSV, matched to Grove's contact fields, and landed as prepared Drafts, so your whole roster is ready to review and invite without typing each client in by hand.
- Get startedInvite and onboard your first client
A client in your practice who has accepted their invite, completed the intake you prepared, and landed their first check-in, with their space (goals, habits, first session) already set up, so the coaching relationship starts with real signal instead of a blank slate.
Run your week
- Run your weekMake reflections a measurable practice
Weekly Reflections turned on for your practice, a default question set (or your own), and a habit of reading what clients actually write before you open their record, so session prep starts with their words instead of your memory of the week.
- Run your weekRun the weekly rhythm (check-ins as dialogue)
A daily habit of turning each client's check-in into a same-day reaction or reply from your dashboard, so check-ins stay a conversation instead of a form that disappears into a database.
- Run your weekShow up prepared: session prep with Sage
A repeatable pre-session ritual, from your morning Daily Pulse through a built agenda, a locked-in plan, shared session notes, and your own private reflection, so you walk into every session already knowing what matters and never leave a loose thread untracked.
- Run your weekTurn on Sage safely
Sage turned on for your practice with confidence, a client who has said yes on their own terms, a clear read on what Sage does and never touches, and a plan for reading the Authored by Sage badge and your monthly usage indicator once the output starts arriving.
Go deeper
- Go deeperBuild and assign a program (instead of starting blank)
A reusable program in your library: habits, actions, agenda items, topics, and resources built once and organized into named phases, assigned to a client as its own independent copy, with each phase turned on in one click so the right work reaches that client right on schedule.
- Go deeperBuild habits and goals that stick
A client whose goals and habits are set up the way that actually holds up over months: outcome goals in their own words, habits that serve those goals at a realistic rhythm, the right mix of Active and Future items, a habit marked Rooted once it's truly theirs, and an archive you can restore from instead of a delete you regret.
- Go deeperSet up intake forms (and put the answers to work)
An intake form built from the Health Coaching template or from scratch, delivered your way (sent to the client, or entered yourself with their consent), and answers that go straight to work, filed on the Intake tab with their source labeled, flagged to you by email the moment they arrive, and resurfacing as a Watch for note or a suggested move the first time you open session prep.
