End the Session on Their Sentence, Not Yours

Last three minutes: their words, next experiment, one appreciation.

You love a tidy summary. They need their own last sentence. Steal from the question bank. The discovery close is for selling. This is the delivery close. Progress gets their words. Notes that survive start here.

The Last Three Minutes

  1. Their sentence — “Say the thing you’ll remember.”
  2. Experiment — date + evidence.
  3. One appreciation — of a behavior, not their soul.

Then stop talking. If you recap, you just overwrote them.

The Ask

“In one sentence, what are you leaving with?”

Write it. That’s the recap’s insight line.

Where Coaches Break

  • A two-minute monologue “to land it.”
  • Appreciating their essence. Appreciate the send.

The 3-Minute Action

Put the three beats on a card. Use them on the next close. If you talk last, you failed the drill.
