• Did you read your client’s application or review notes from last time?
• Do you have an idea about what your client’s FAT Triggers might be?
• Are you using a good headset or telephone with a good connection?
• Are you in a calm, centered place yourself?

• Ask yourself, “What is the best way I can serve this client?”
• It’s not your job to “fix” anyone
• Acknowledge and empathize with your client’s pains and experiences, often this is the first time (or a rare time) anyone has listened and cared
• You don’t need to always have amazing ideas, allow clients to make discoveries and breakthroughs
• You cannot be all things to all people, some clients will love you, others will not
• Serve clients to the best of your ability
• Leave your ego at the door, this is all about them, not you

• Congratulations on your acceptance into the Ultimate Coaching Experiences.
• I’ve read your application, so I already know a little bit about you, so before we go any further, let me tell you a little about me.
• [give a short version of your bio and Gabriel Method experience here]

• My job is first and foremost to help you determine which Fat Triggers are causing you to gain weight, and then together, we’ll develop a very practical plan to reverse them
• Along with myself, you’ll be meeting with at least 3 other specialists—and perhaps more—during your program
• Each of your sessions will be 45-60 minutes long, and all of them our 1-on-1
• This program is customized to meet your needs, so I’ll be sharing our notes with your other coaches, unless of course, you’re prefer for whatever reason, that we keep something private
• Anna is the Coaching Coordinator, who you probably already met, and she’ll be setting up all your coaching sessions. You can always reach her at coaching@thegabrielmethod.com
• Lastly, I’d like to let you know that our sessions are 100% confidential. So you know, we do a team-based coaching approach so we normally share notes within our team—but if there was anything you wanted to not be shared internally, that is perfectly fine, just let me or your other coaches know.

Before we get started today, I have a few questions to help me better understand where you’re at right now, today

If you can, just answer honestly, and we’ll talk more in detail later about what it means and how you can leverage on your strengths to lift up areas where you’re currently struggling.

QUESTION #1: I know you’re just getting started, but on a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being the best, how are you feeling about your progress (if any) so far?

QUESTION #2: On that same 1-10 scale, how “in control” do you feel of your emotions right now? 1 is completely in control and a 10 would be crying, nervous, anxious or any of those strong emotions that sometimes feel like they control us.

QUESTION #3: If you can rate your stress for me with 1 being no stress and 5 being totally stressed out. What is your current level of stress?

QUESTION #4: How much support do you feel in this journey from your friends and family? 1 is no support, 10 is totally loved and supported.

QUESTION #5: This past week, how did you feel about your food choices? Tell me on a 1 to 10 scale, with 1 being terrible and 10 being perfect.

QUESTION #6: How many days this past week were you able to do something physical inside or outside, such as playing in the park, taking a walk, going to the gym or anything like that?

QUESTION #7: Ok one last question, how many times within the last week did you do your evening visualization?

• I’d like to ask you just a few more questions, to get an even better understanding about your possible fat triggers

(visualization, food suggestions, sleep suggestion, lifestyle change, etc)

• Of these things I’ve suggested, do any of these seem very easy and attain able in the next 30 days?
• Together, let’s make a list of 3 things that you can commit to right now, and we’ll start with this small list and create positive spirals as we go.

Based on our conversation today and what I’ve learned from your application, I’d like to suggest that in the next 3 weeks, you work with the following specialists…
