Give a brief description of the coaching session. Include how you would introduce and walk your client through the Ten-Year Letter exercise.

How did the client benefit?
This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of the Ten-Year Letter exercise as explained in the textbook. Make sure you support your Case Study adequately.

What are some action points that you will implement in your life based on your Ten-Year Letter? What did you learn from writing the case study? Could you see yourself using the Ten-Year Letter exercise with future clients? What did you learn from incorporating the Ten-Year Letter exercise with your hypothetical client?
