Maybe if you tell us what you did and said you'd get more feedback on how to be effective.

What were your specific goals for that first session with a client? Did you meet those goals? Did you tell the client what the goals were before you started? Did you set a proper expectation for the session with the client?

Did you want to make that client a repeat client of yours or were you just fulfilling the assignment of "deliver 1 free PT session for newly signed-up person"?

What is your background in training? Were you taught anything in that background about a first meeting?

Did you generally and genuinely approach the session as a professional?
