Ready-to-send Diamond Tree exercises a coach can duplicate, customize, and assign as between-session fieldwork — practical, do-it-now tools: a stop-doing list, planning a hard conversation, a stakeholder map, a weekly reflection, deciding with confidence, and asking for feedback.

For Your Clients: Do the Work

An exercise on what to drop, delegate, delay, or outgrow. Make a copy for the client and send it to complete; hidden coach notes help you coach the hard part — letting go.

Everyone has a to-do list. Almost no one has a stop-doing list — and that's the one that actually creates room to lead.

Your Stop-Doing List

A planner for a specific hard conversation a client is avoiding. Make a copy for the client and send it before a session — they face the fear and plan it; hidden coach notes guide you.

There's a conversation you keep putting off — and the avoidance is costing you more than the conversation would. Here's how to prepare for it, and finally have it.

Plan the Conversation You're Avoiding

Maps a client's key relationships and where to invest. Make a copy for the client and send it to complete; hidden coach notes guide the session follow-up.

Your success flows through relationships you're probably managing by accident. Map the people who matter — and invest where it actually counts.

Your Stakeholder Map

A repeatable weekly-reflection ritual. Make a copy for the client and send it as an ongoing practice they return to each week; hidden coach notes help you reinforce the habit.

Experience doesn't make you wiser — reflecting on it does. A simple 15-minute weekly practice that compounds into real growth.

The Weekly Reflection

Walks a client through a real, stuck decision to a committed call. Make a copy for the client and send it when they're paralyzed; hidden coach notes inside.

Sitting on a decision? Indecision is its own choice — and usually the costly one. Work a real decision through to a clear, committed call.

Decide With Confidence

On seeking honest feedback and taking it well. Make a copy for the client and send it to complete before a session; hidden coach notes guide the debrief on how they react.

The honest feedback you need most is the feedback no one volunteers. Here's how to go get it — and how to take it without flinching.
