You must always leave aside your own judgements & agenda and fully connect with your clients to form trust and rapport, which will help them open up and share freely

[{"selector":"#anim-d7395091-0441-4c31-9833-432d5de3d42d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02d1a538-fe40-459c-8475-4ac6972b20e1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.45161%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8affaec8-6e81-4f4c-a90e-7126015970f0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d75100a8-e4c1-4c27-bcc2-95be1d10a3a0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.97516%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Always make sure to recognize their strengths and help cultivate that further, which can in turn unlock their potential and create spaces for new opportunities

[{"selector":"#anim-93ea910b-4077-4687-aeb4-6fe430e96763","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-30ba2c58-910e-4d53-8dee-94159b143956","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.54099%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12483ae0-65d6-4803-83d4-65c639a8b0f0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-61812dd5-8955-4a86-ac9e-d286547a00e8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Asking open-ended questions will allow your client to introspect and answer from a space of reflection, instead of just giving surface answers

[{"selector":"#anim-323b216c-2f73-420c-8f33-b56629ac7b9e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6cbf19f3-90e6-42e6-8ebd-4195f54c7bf7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.58024%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cac671ae-a4d6-4378-af0b-3d33c8f39ca8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d80f075-fd45-4b21-a1c6-03319953a033","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

While some coaches do become friendly with their clients, it is also important to not get overly involved in their life or attach their own self-worth to the client’s success or failure

[{"selector":"#anim-12dc6abc-28f3-40ab-9de1-d3aa5f167869","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3ff6d91e-cd07-4d20-8d2d-e5178e7a2161","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.58024%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9165896a-1ac9-41e8-a2cd-8de67cb8d3c6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-16e8b9c5-c95c-4c5b-9fc7-88ce7c8f180f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Not everything is spoken in words and it is of utmost importance for you to listen to both the text and subtext of what your client is saying, which includes body language and various other non-verbal forms of communication

[{"selector":"#anim-b58047cc-87e4-47c0-9c9f-d685c47e8787","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-61651478-28ed-4245-88be-6f9931b16375","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.58024%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-258a206b-1dc1-4847-919e-8dd39cde3e65","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ba594be4-7319-4a05-a8b0-fc68a81dab08","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
