This Is Why My Clients Swear At Me…

Thank you. And fuck you. 

That was the goodbye I got from one of my clients this week. 

This is not uncommon. Other common goodbyes include “I hate you." and “Remind me why I'm doing this again?” 

When I hear any of these, I feel a deep sense of fulfillment. I know I'm effectively doing my job. 

I don't care if my clients like me. I don't care if my clients are uncomfortable. I don't care if my clients think about firing me. 

I care that my clients take the messy action that supports them in stepping into their greatness. 

That looks like saying the thing they need to hear even if they don't want to. 

It looks like pushing them to get into action before they feel ready.  

It looks like holding their feet to the fire so that they recognize that they're full of excuses. 

My clients hate me because change is hard. If it were easy, we would all make the changes that we know will make our lives more satisfying and fulfilling. They hate me because I don't let them get away with their own bullshit. 

But my clients also love me. They know that I hold the bigger vision that they have for themselves and their lives - even when it's hard for them to hold it for themselves. They know that I will help them find compassion for themselves when it's needed. They know that I refuse to let them give up on having the fulfilling career, relationship LIFE that they envision.  

That's why they hire me. 

I have space for two private clients. Curious? Scheduled a call to chat and see what life could look like in a year.
