Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My coaching chats end on a warm "I’ll try to get to it" that I let slide as if it were a plan
• We have a great talk and the person leaves with "I’ll think about it," and within a day or two it’s evaporated
• The people I coach leave fired up with a plan, but the first ordinary snag throws them and the whole thing quietly dies
• My one-on-ones sprawl and end with nothing decided
• I start each coaching conversation from scratch and never circle back to what the person said they’d do last time
