The four-sentence lift: Ember Console for ADHD coaches and the record you already send

You already send a short written record after every session, and it goes into one shared document. Ember Console is a session-report builder for coaches, in closed beta, and it does the middle of that routine: the recording, the boxes, the editing. I build it, and the filing at the end is still yours.

One r/lifecoaching poster describes where these records live: “I have one shared Google document with tabs.”

How do you write ADHD coaching session notes?

By hand, mostly, in the same four or five sentences every week. Those sentences are already a template, so building one from scratch is the wrong first move.

Five steps run from the call ending to the filing:

1. Record the session, or hand Ember an existing recording.
2. Ember passes your boxes, prompts and evals to your AI.
3. Your AI reworks each box until it passes your standard.
4. Edit the result in the Ember dashboard.
5. Export to PDF or Word, then file it yourself.

Step five is where the published facts stop. The Ember pricing page says: “Every plan keeps your letterhead, exports to PDF or Word, and your data stays yours.” Those are the only file types named anywhere, and the file still has to be moved by hand.

What should a coaching session summary include?

Your own four sentences, one to a box, each with the prompt that fills it and a rule it has to pass. Here is an example set, invented rather than a real client’s:

Box	The sentence you already send
What we worked on	”Why the Tuesday admin block keeps collapsing.”
What you noticed	”It holds after the school run and fails after a meeting.”
What you are trying next	”One admin block, Tuesday, straight after the school run.”
What I am watching	”Whether the cue matters more than the hour.”

Call that the four-sentence lift. The prompt half is already written: it is the sentence you have been sending for two years. The rule half you have never had to put into words, and that is what the box system asks for.

The record is not a clinical note. In Sibley’s 2026 survey of ADHD coaches in JAMA Network Open, 396 of 466 held no health care licence. No form comes with the standard, so you set it box by box and keep the record to one page a client can reread.

What is not stated yet?

Four questions, and the first decides how the file reaches your client.

• Whether a report can be sent to the client from Ember, or only downloaded.
• Which file types beyond PDF and Word.
• What counts against the four free reports a month.
• When that monthly allowance resets.

My own file-types sheet holds the first two, unanswered. Download the file and file it yourself until that changes.

Open the record you sent after your last session and count the sentences. You wrote that template months ago without calling it one, and a client has already read it.

Questions people ask next?

Can Ember send the report to my client?

Not stated. The published facts cover export to PDF or Word and editing in the dashboard. Sending from inside the tool is not among them, so move the file yourself and ask about it during the closed beta.

How many reports can I try this on for free?

Four a month, at $0, with no card and no countdown. Enough to lift your four sentences into boxes, run the same session twice, and see whether the filled version reads like you.
