Clients are why we are coaches! Working with clients and helping them achieve their goals is the best feeling in the world! But some of them… are tricky. "Difficult," even.

In this episode, Coach Pony founder Christie Mims and Date Like a Grownup founder Bobbi Palmer talk all about handling difficult clients. They share their experiences from one-on-one and group coaching across multiple niches, as well as some suggestions for how you handle your own clients when they get difficult.

If you coach for any length of time, you’ll probably run into clients that take a toll on you and make you question if you are the right fit for them. Let’s talk all about it.

Listen to the full episode to hear about:

–What if someone joins your group coaching program but is a bad fit?

–What if you have a 1-on-1 client who is a bad fit? How do you “fire” a client?

–Why you must have a conversation with a potential 1-on-1 client before taking them on

–What about disruptive personalities in group coaching or workshops?

–Asking permission to interrupt

–Tips and tools to make the group run more smoothly
