ABS Audio Newsletter: Game Planning with a New Client

Issue 53: Preparing a New Client for Success

Welcome to the 53rd issue of the ABS Audio Newsletter. Today we are chatting about the necessary preparation that should be expressed and put in place for new clients. There are probably many things going on with a new client and that dynamic nature of things should be addressed early on. Establishing that initial plan is integral to client success and can really set the tone and focus on the initial changes powered by coaching.

What should this plan look to address?

• Establishment of a needs based action plan

• Allow for a full understanding of coaching expectations

• Set the tone that the coaching and behavioral changes will be challenging and demand effort

• Establish criteria for success

• There will likely be sacrifices that need to be made to progress towards one’s goals

• Establishment of a client’s support system beyond the coach

• Realistic long-term commitment and planning for achieving outcomes

Let’s breakdown each of these and discuss the vitality of each of these components!

The outline of our conversation:

1. General intro

2. Initial Assessment/Consult

3. Setting the Tone

4. Establish a Foundation and Structure

5. My takeaways and motivational sendoff!

I greatly appreciate your viewership; catch you all in the comments. Stay tuned for the 54th issue next week!
