Crafting Transformative Endings in Coaching

This short episode contains Robbie’s answer to a question every coach should ask themselves, especially if they want a sustainable coaching business: how do create a powerful ending to a coaching engagement?

It’s so easy as a coach to completely miss the opportunity to create meaning and transformation at the end of our coaching programmes.

But that's what's possible if we pay attention to this key moment in our work.

In this episode Robbie explains:

What I learned about endings from my coaches, like Rich Litvin and Joel Monk.

The exact words I use with clients to help make the ending of our work a part of their transformation.

What I say to create the possibility for more referrals from my clients after our work. 

How we can support our clients to rewrite their scripts around endings.
