Despite the demonstrated success of Positive Psychology Coaching (PPC) in the workplace, constraints frequently result in it concluding before all goals have been achieved and consolidated. PPC frequently identifies other issues in the workplace that the coachee now recognises need to be attended to for long-term success. This chapter outlines the processes, principles and strategies involved in the consolidation, maintenance and extension of gains, and the means by which a continued work or life improvement plan may be developed and implemented. Topics covered include reviewing the formulation and strategies implemented, assessing progress, identifying remaining work and other obstacles, the identification of personal vulnerabilities, self-monitoring of red flags, identifying problematic situations and decisive moments, access to booster sessions and external resources such as other PPC techniques, professional and social support, coping with future challenges and setbacks, capitalising on strengths, and the formation of self-enhancing and self-sustaining habits.
