Coaching renewal checklist
Before buying another package or continuing with the same coach, use this checklist to decide whether to continue, pause, or change direction.
Renewal questions
- What changed since I started coaching?
- Which goals became clearer, smaller, or less important?
- Did I complete the actions I agreed to between sessions?
- Does the coach still match the kind of support I need now?
- Do I understand the cost and time commitment of continuing?
- Would a different format, cadence, or specialist fit better?
- Am I renewing because the work is useful, or because stopping feels uncomfortable?
Continue
Continue when you are making measurable progress, the fit is still strong, and the next phase has a clear purpose.
Pause
Pause when you need time to apply what you learned, handle schedule constraints, or clarify what you want next.
Change
Change coaches when your goal has shifted, the style no longer fits, or you need a specialist with different experience.
Ask before renewing
- What would the next package focus on specifically?
- How will we know the next phase is working?
- Should the session cadence change?
- What should I do differently between sessions?
- What would make it smarter to pause instead of renew?
Make the next phase intentional
Renewing should have a clear reason, not just momentum.
