Coaching exercise library software

What is a coaching exercise library?
It is a reusable set of a coach's exercises, reflections, frameworks and worksheets, kept in one place rather than as loose files re-attached to email. In Exantur clients complete them from their portal or live in a session, and every response is saved to the coaching record instead of vanishing afterward.
A coach builds up a set of exercises that work, reflections, frameworks, worksheets they return to again and again. Kept as loose files, they get re-attached to email over and over and the client's responses vanish after the fact. Exantur gives those exercises a home: a reusable library clients complete from their portal, with every response saved to the coaching record.
Over the years, that collection of what works is quietly one of a coach's most valuable assets. It is the distilled version of your practice: the question that reliably opens someone up, the framework that reframes a stuck situation, the worksheet that turns a vague intention into a plan. When it lives as scattered attachments, that asset leaks value every time, because the material is hard to reuse and the answers it produces disappear. A library keeps both the exercise and what it revealed.
It forms part of Exantur, coaching practice management software created for how professional coaching actually works, instead of a generic project management app adapted after the fact.
A reusable library of interactive exercises
Instead of rebuilding the same worksheet for each client, you keep a library of interactive exercises and reuse them. An exercise that helped one client is ready for the next, so your best material becomes a growing asset rather than something you recreate from memory each time.
Completed from the client portal
Coachees complete exercises from their own portal, in their own time, as part of the work between sessions. What they produce is structured and captured rather than typed into an email, so the exercise is a real step in the coaching, not a document that disappears once it is done.
Or run together, live in a session
Some exercises land best when you do them together. Exantur supports running an exercise in a live mode during a session, working through it in real time with the client. Either way, done alone or together, the responses save to the client record.
Alongside assessments and worksheets
The exercise library sits next to the wider toolkit Exantur gives a coach: assignable worksheets, client documents, and structured assessments such as the DISC-style profile and the Wheel of Life. That means an exercise can set up an assessment, or a worksheet can follow from one, all on the same record. The DISC-style profile is a practical, non-certified instrument, useful for reflection and conversation rather than a formal psychometric verdict.
Responses stay part of the history
Because every response is attached to the coaching record, an exercise a client did in month one is still there in month six, as context and as evidence of how their thinking has moved. The library is not just a way to send worksheets, it is a way to keep what they reveal.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from sending a worksheet?
- Exercises are reusable and interactive, completed in the client portal, and every response is saved to the coaching record instead of disappearing into an email thread.
- Can I run an exercise during a session?
- Yes. Exercises can be run in a live mode during a session, working through them together in real time, with responses saved to the record.
- Do client responses stay available later?
- Yes. Responses attach to the client record and remain part of the coaching history for later reference.
- How does the library relate to assessments?
- It sits alongside assignable worksheets, client documents and structured assessments like the DISC-style profile and the Wheel of Life, so an exercise and an assessment can build on each other on the same client record.
- Is the DISC-style profile a certified psychometric test?
- No. It is a DISC-style instrument for reflection and conversation, useful for prompting insight rather than delivering a formal, certified psychometric result.
