Quick answer
A client-side pre-session sheet: what happened since last time, what needs attention now, the win, the blocker and the question the session should answer.
The first ten minutes of a session are usually spent reconstructing the last week. This worksheet moves that work to before the call: the client records progress against last session's commitment, the win worth keeping, the blocker that appeared, what they have avoided and the single question they want answered. You open the session already holding their agenda rather than extracting it.
