In the coaching world, there’s a real issue that isn’t talked about much.
Sometimes coaching relationships can stray off course, become counter productive or even toxic.
It can feel like the client is being difficult. It’s worth looking at it dispassionately to see where your responsibility lies.
Because your client is paying you for services, they may perceive a power difference between you.
While sometimes a difficult coaching relationship is simply about fit, it can also be caused by truly innocent actions of the coach that disrupt the power balance.
As your behaviors are the only ones that you can control that’s where right action starts and ends.
Let’s dig into that and what you can do to repair a rift back to a healthy coaching relationship.
I’ll also share 4 simple steps to clear the air with clients with a little script to initiate that conversation plus a clean approach to terminate a client relationship if that’s really best.
