When I started coaching, I felt buried under the admin side of things. I spent hours preparing forms, taking scattered notes, and trying to organize client progress. By the end of the week, I was drained-not from coaching, but from the paperwork around it.
That’s when I built a set of go-to templates that I now use with every client. Suddenly, my sessions felt lighter, smoother, and more professional. Instead of scrambling to stay organized, I could finally focus on what mattered most: coaching.
