# Coaching sessions
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/work-together/coaching-sessions

Any kind of coach, vocal, performance, songwriting, production, mindset, career, joins as an organisation, declares its disciplines, and takes coaching/studio session requests from a Cal.com-style public booking page (discipline, then coach, then date, then slot) and allocates them into sessions. Any active org member can be a coach; requests are a generic, reusable primitive.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

If you coach artists, you can run your whole practice inside Aden. Whatever
you coach. A vocal coach, a performance coach, a songwriting or production
coach, a mix engineer who teaches, a mindset or career coach, a dance
choreographer, an academy with a dozen teachers: they all join as an
organisation, say what they coach, and take bookings. Clients request a session
from a public form and you turn each request into a real session with the coach
and the client invited. Any active member of your organisation can be a coach
there's nothing to set up per coach.

## Using it [#using-it]

**Say what you coach.** On the **Coaching** page, pick your disciplines
vocal, performance & stage, songwriting, production, mixing & mastering,
instrument, DJing, dance, theory, mindset, career, content, image, artist
development. Then, in the coach list underneath, set what each coach personally
teaches. A coach with nothing listed stays bookable for anything the practice
offers. Clients filter the public booking page by discipline, and the session
that gets created is titled with it.

**Turn on your public form.** On the **Coaching** page, switch the public
request form on. Clients can then visit `your-org/coaching` and book from a
Cal.com-style page: choose what they want to work on (only shown when you offer
more than one discipline), then **coaching** (pick a coach who teaches it, or
"Anyone available") or
**studio** (pick one of your public studio rooms, or no preference, **no coach
required**), pick a day on the calendar, then pick a time slot. Days a chosen
coach is fully busy are greyed out. They confirm with a name and email. A
proper form with validation, and no account is needed.

**Announce availability.** Use **Announce availability** to send a campaign with
a link to your form. Everyone who submits is saved as a "Coaching leads" contact
you can target from Campaigns next time.

**Allocate a request.** Requests land in **Coaching → Requests**, each showing
the date and time the producer picked. Open one, confirm the coach (the
requested start/end time is pre-filled from their pick), optionally add a studio,
meeting link, and admin fee, and create the session. The coach and producer are
invited automatically and the session shows up in Sessions and on your calendar.
