You open the session already knowing where you left off.
Before every session, Klarity writes a briefing from the previous sessions: what was worked on, what stayed open, the commitments made, and a suggested focus. You read it in a minute, and you enter the session without rereading your notes.
Léa arrived with a diffuse loss of meaning despite an outwardly successful life. The work surfaced three core values (creativity, authentic connection, freedom) and identified her central block: the guilt of putting herself first. Since she started holding her micro-boundaries, her commitments are followed through and meaning returns when her actions meet her values. Suggested focus : consolidate her autonomy so she becomes her own reference point, and prepare a gradual close of the engagement.
What's in it
Four things, and nothing else.
The briefing isn't one more summary. It answers the four questions you ask yourself as you open the session.
The trajectory, in three sentences
The starting point, what has moved, and what remains. Not the list of sessions: the line that connects them.
The loose threads
A topic avoided, a question left hanging, a theme that keeps coming back without being addressed. You decide whether to reopen it.
Kept, or not
What the client committed to do, and where they stand. Enough to open the session without having to ask “so?”.
A lead, not an instruction
A proposed angle for this session, based on the previous ones. Take it or leave it: the session stays yours.
When and how
It's there before you are.
You don't ask for it: it's written ahead of time and waits for you in the session. Your notes, taken beforehand, are part of it. Your existing clients too: import your history, and the first briefing is written from it.
Your day, before your first coffee.
A daily recap: the day's sessions, what to reopen with each client, and the tasks coming due. You know what your day looks like before you open it.
And if you want to dig in, it's all there.
The briefing is enough most of the time. When it isn't, the client record gives the next session, the last summary, the open tasks, the trajectory and the memory.
What you gain
Ten minutes of review, replaced by one.
Preparation doesn't disappear: it shifts from digging through your notes to a targeted read. And you walk into the session with the client's commitments in mind, not in a notebook.
What coaches ask us
Is the briefing sent to the client?
No. It's meant for you alone. The client only receives what you decide to send them, from the session report.
What about a first session?
If there's no history, there's no briefing to write. You can import your existing documents to have one from the second session.
Can I edit it?
Your notes add to the session record, before, during or after, and feed the next preparation. The briefing itself can be regenerated.
Does it work for a group?
Yes. A group has its own record and its own memory: the briefing covers what circulated in the collective.
Does the suggested focus steer my practice?
It's a proposal, never an instruction. Klarity holds the factual memory; the listening and the session choices stay yours.
Your next session can be prepared without you.
Import your history, connect your calendar, and the first briefing waits for you before the next appointment.
