I want to share a story with you about a client who used to worry me in the early days of our coaching relationship.
Between sessions, I never heard from them—no questions, no updates, nothing. It made me question my effectiveness as a coach because I felt I needed to be involved in every step.
But what I quickly learned was that this client was actually a model client.
They consistently did the work they committed to and showed up prepared for every session. They met all their goals without needing constant guidance from me.
This realisation was a turning point for me.
I discovered that the key to this success was how we ended our coaching sessions.
Effective endings ensured that my client had clear direction and knew exactly what steps to take next.
This structure eliminated the need for follow-ups and constant check-ins.
Reflecting on this, I realised that many common coaching problems—like missing deadlines, not making enough progress, lack of clarity, and too many follow-ups—stem from not dedicating enough time to properly end sessions.
Without clear endings, clients leave without understanding their next steps, leading to confusion and extra work for both of us.
This is why I created this resource.
In it, you'll find five different types of endings: accountability sessions, information sessions, teaching sessions, getting feedback, and ending relationships!
These strategies will help you ensure your clients leave every session with clear direction and accountability, just like my ideal client who never needed to reach out between sessions.
If you find yourself overwhelmed by client follow-ups or chasing clients for progress, it's likely because your session endings aren't as strong as they could be.
This resource will help you craft world-class coaching endings, so your clients always know exactly what to do next, reducing your workload and increasing their ability to get results faster.
