Frequently asked questions
How do you prepare effectively for a coaching session?
By starting from the last touchpoint: open goals, commitments made previously and topics left unresolved. A pre-session briefing that gathers these avoids last-minute note review.
How long should preparing a session take?
With a well-kept history, a few minutes. Klarity generates a ready-to-use briefing before each session, so you arrive prepared without spending your evening on it.
What is a pre-session briefing?
It's a concise status recap delivered before the session: where the client stands, what was committed, what remains to revisit. It lets you stay fully present instead of hunting for context.
