Who owns the follow-up session?

• A. The coach owns the follow-up session.
• B. Ownership is shared equally.
• C. The client owns the follow-up session.
• D. Ownership alternates by session.

Answer: (C)

In this coaching relationship, the client holds ownership of the follow-up session. The client is the recipient of support and the primary decision-maker about ongoing engagement, so the session and its continuation are centered on the client’s goals, preferences, and consent. The coach's role is to facilitate, schedule, and support accountability while protecting confidentiality and the client’s autonomy. This aligns with a client-centered approach where the client determines whether and when to continue with follow-up, rather than the coach, a shared arrangement, or an alternating pattern.
