Top coaching points
1. Ended without teach-back or the owner stating homework back.
Why: The owner has to reproduce this at home without the trainer standing next to them.
Try this: Run the Closing Ritual: "So that I know I explained it well, show me once on your own, then tell me your plan for this week."
