Don’t Leave Them Feeling Like They’re Not Worth Pursuing: Why Follow-Up With Potential Clients Is Critical for Life Coaches When you meet a client for a Sample Session, it can be an extraordinary experience, much like meeting someone of interest at a party for the first time (wink).

June is a Time of Transition
Hi Coachy Loves. I wanted to just pop in today because it’s June now. Something always happens in June that I tend to forget about each year. That is that June is a time of transition.
