The first 60 seconds
The way you open a session sets the tone for everything that follows. Four small moves, repeated every time, do most of the work:
- Bring the energy. Show up genuinely excited to see them. Smile, sit forward, mean it.
- Say their name. A name said with care is the shortest path to trust. Use it in the first sentence, pronounced the way they say it.
- Set the stage. Camera on, mic clear, slide up, chat norms named out loud. A room they can step into.
- Make it personal. Ask about their week. Remember what they told you last time. A small moment of connection is the foundation everything else stands on.
What we are testing
A few things we want your read on once the video is live:
- Does the video feel like a polished training moment, or like a placeholder?
- Are the controls obvious - play, pause, scrub, fullscreen?
- Would you actually rewatch this between sessions, or is it a one-and-done?
