Maintaining client commitment is often about fostering a sense of ownership and confidence. I use open-ended questions to help clients explore their motivations and reasons for change, which strengthens their personal connection to their goals. Reflective listening is key; by paraphrasing their thoughts, I show empathy and ensure they feel understood, which builds trust. Affirming their strengths and past successes helps remind them of their capability, reinforcing their belief in themselves. I also like to break down goals into smaller, manageable steps to maintain momentum. What approaches have you found helpful in keeping clients focused and committed?

When my clients lose sight of their goals, I remind them of the progress they've already made and the reasons they started. I break their larger goals into smaller, achievable steps and celebrate those wins along the way. By checking in regularly and adjusting plans as needed, I help them stay focused and motivated. It's about keeping the momentum and showing them they’re capable, even when things get tough.
