What is a Coaching Topic?
A Coaching Topic is anything you want ongoing coaching on: a goal, a relationship, a subject, or something you're working through. Unlike the earlier Coaching Focus, a topic has no length to choose and no end date. It runs until you complete it, cancel it, or tell Cloverleaf at a check-in that you're ready to move on.
You can run more than one topic at a time. Cloverleaf pulls from all of them together, so a single insight can draw on more than one topic instead of each one delivering separately.

How to add a Coaching Topic
Find Coaching in your left-side navigation menu, directly under Assessments. Open Manage topics, then select Add new topic.
You'll move through three steps:
Say what you want coaching on, in your own words.
Answer a few discovery questions.
Review what Cloverleaf built. This step shows the topic and the people it includes. There's no frequency question here. Every new topic starts daily, and Cloverleaf paces it from there.
Once you confirm, you'll see a Coaching ready card letting you know when your first insight arrives and where.
How your coaching adapts
Cloverleaf builds your coaching a few insights at a time, based on how you respond, not on a fixed schedule set in advance. Marking an insight helpful, answering its question, or skipping it all shape what comes next.
There's nothing to configure here. Using your coaching is how you steer it.
Decision point: If you've never set up a Coaching Topic, you'll still receive general coaching so you're not left without anything. Once you add a topic, your coaching is built around it.
Choosing when you get coaching
Delivery timing applies across all of your topics at once. Open Coaching settings from the header and choose one:
Weekday mornings (recommended). Arrives before your first meeting of the day.
Only around my meetings. Arrives ahead of the conversations on your calendar, and nothing on days you have none. Requires a connected calendar.
Set the days and time myself. Pick specific days and a time.
Coaching still arrives through Email, Slack, or Teams, based on your existing channel settings.
Managing more than one topic
The Manage topics panel lists every active topic in one place: its color, the people it names, its status, and a ⋯ menu for each one.
There's no separate page per topic anymore. Instead, every insight in your feed is tagged with the topic (or topics) that shaped it, so you can see what's driving each one.
Updating a topic
Select ⋯ → Update topic next to any topic. Describe what should change in the box provided, then select Update.
Cloverleaf applies the change directly. There's no back-and-forth conversation. It takes about a minute.
Finding your past coaching
The Coaching page itself is your history. Every insight you've been sent shows up there, across every topic, and you can filter by date range or by topic. There's no digging through email or Slack to reconstruct what you were told.
This is different from Coaching History in the menu, which stores your saved Discover and Role Play conversations, not the coaching sent to you.
Coaching for your team
If you're a manager or admin, you can put a topic in front of someone else. Select Assign new topic from the same Manage topics panel used for your own coaching.
The Assigned topics tab shows who has accepted, who's pending, and who has declined. A topic assigned to you shows up in your own list labeled Assigned by [name].
Wrapping up a topic
At the point your topic seems worth reassessing, you'll see a check-in asking whether you want to keep going.
From there, choose Keep going or I'm ready to wrap this up. If you're ready to move on, you're asked whether you'd rather keep coaching on the same topic from a different angle or shift to something new.
You can also select Complete or Cancel at any time from the ⋯ menu next to a topic.
What stays the same
You still describe what you want coaching on in your own words, and still answer discovery questions.
Your coaching is still private. Nobody on your team sees it.
People featured in a topic are still coached on, and still don't see it themselves.
Cloverleaf still sets a benchmark for each topic and shows it to you at check-ins.
Marking an insight helpful or not, adding notes, and bookmarking all still work the same way.
The tools inside an insight (Discover, Role Play, Talk with AI Coach, Request Feedback) are unchanged.
You'll know it worked when...
Your active topics appear in the Manage topics panel with the people or goals you set.
Your first insight arrives on the schedule you chose in Coaching settings.
Your Coaching page shows a running, filterable history of everything you've been sent.
