Red flags in client decision-making: How to address them

In this episode of "Say What You See," we dive into a common yet challenging scenario every business coach faces: when clients come to you with pre-made decisions and solutions. These moments can be pivotal in your coaching relationship, and how you handle them can make all the difference.
Clients often make decisions based on emotional reactions or surface-level understanding of their issues. This can lead to misaligned priorities, wasted resources, and a cycle of unfinished projects. As a coach, it's your job to recognise these red flags and guide your clients toward more strategic, well-thought-out decisions.
In this episode, you'll learn practical techniques for identifying when a client’s decision might be more reactive than strategic. You'll discover how to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and ensure that their choices align with their broader goals. By watching this video, you'll be better equipped to help your clients think more clearly, avoid shiny object syndrome, and stay on course to achieve long-term success.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a toolkit of strategies to navigate these high-stakes conversations confidently. You'll not only add value to your coaching sessions but also reinforce your role as an indispensable partner in your client's journey to success. If you're looking to elevate your coaching practice and ensure your clients make decisions that truly move the needle, this episode is a must-watch.
