27. What You Need to Address During Your First Coaching Session
Just landed your first coaching client and not sure what to do next? ITN founder and CEO Cynthia Garcia has you covered! In today’s episode, she’s sharing how you can set both your client and yourself up for success from day one. She breaks down three things that you should discuss during your first coaching session and some precautions for when you start working with new clients. The main things to prioritize when you’re first meeting with someone and creating a health and wellness plan is to get really clear on their goals and set realistic expectations. Cynthia shares that she likes to start with the ‘magic wand’ question: If I could grant you three questions, what would they be and by when? That helps people get really specific about what they want to achieve and their ideal timeline.
It’s also important to explore what has and hasn’t worked for your clients in the past, and why. Then, have them visualize what their future could look like after working with you so that they stay motivated toward reaching their goals. During this process, it’s best to do more listening than talking in order to let your client know that they are the priority.
Once you’ve gone through those three questions, you can create a personalized plan, come up with ways to measure success, and discuss ways that your client can stay accountable. It might seem really intimidating at first, but Cynthia is here to offer guidance on how to handle your first coaching job like a pro.

- Cynthia’s experience signing her first client and what she’s learned since then
