Who is an ‘ideal’ client?
I like to describe an ideal client as “anyone who is aware that where they are, is not where they want to be!” Clients want more and they want to change. Ideal clients are ready to step up, be themselves and get serious about pursuing what they want in life! They are ready to grow and change into a better and more authentic self. Another great quality of ideal clients is that they have a good level of teach-ability – they are receptive to personal growth and honest feedback. People who have a hard time taking constructive criticism or who tend to become defensive when spoken to truthfully and honestly, would not make ideal clients because they show a natural resistance to growth and personal improvement. However, if these individuals recognized their traits as potential areas of growth, then they could benefit a great deal from life coaching.
