As coaches, it’s so important to meet clients where they are. But it’s not always that simple to know what people’s standards are before you have even spoken to them. In this episode, Chris shares a framework that he uses to figure out his potential clients’ standards. We hear about the eight key areas he gets people to rank, including health, money, romance and relationships, career, personal growth, spirituality, fun/hobbies, and family. These rankings are not judgments, but simply insights future growth areas. We then hear about the steps you can take after knuckling down on what’s good and what needs to be improved. From clarifying your goals to getting clear on a timeline, Chris guides us through this simple approach we can take to get that much closer to what we want. Be sure to tune in today!
