Are you holding SPACE for your Clients?

Has it ever happened to you? Your client is seated across, sharing some of their most intimate details in an attempt to connect and be seen. You nod your head in agreement with them, genuinely attempting to maintain rapport.

You think to yourself, “Yes, I am able to connect with almost anyone!” This is such worthwhile work!”

But then something happens! They begin to withdraw, both physically and emotionally, as they sit in your office. They are disengaging, retreating, and you can feel the energy shift in the room. As they do so, what are your plans to approach?

The coaching room is a delicate ecosystem. We accomplish more than being nice when we are present with another. We enable people to feel respected and heard, and in exchange, the client is free to “just be” in their own uncensored way. To have a coaching presence without such a buffer zone, learn to hold space.
