Note: Most of my clients give me a score of 7 or 8 after most sessions. This gives me a great opportunity to ask them, “How could this session have been even more useful for you?” Then, the next time we meet, I can adjust accordingly. When I get a rockin’ score like this one — 11 out of 10 — I know what to keep on doing.

My tip to adults who work with teens: make this question your best friend! You will learn a lot about how to work effectively with them.
