How much effort do you put into seeing the client before you've even seen them? Join Geraldine and she talks about some of her past clients and the pitfalls of researching before we see the client rather than meeting them and taking our queue from them. This is the first in a series of podcast relating directly to the consult and how we manage our clients.

• What are you asking from your client pre consult?
• And what are you asking of your client in consult? 
• Are you overwhelming them by requesting too much information? 
• Are they not coming back, because you've asked for information and they haven't been unable to get it, and so they've cancelled or they've re-scheduled their appointment?
• Are the answers to those questions that important, in some cases?

We're into the next half of the year now - we are half way through the year - and it's time to really think forward, to push ourselves forward and think: 

“What is it that I need?” 

“What support do I need?” 

“Where can I get that help from?”

“What do I need to let go?” 

“What do I need to stop?” 

“And how can I make this work for me and what I'm doing?” 

“How can I make it even better?” 

“How can I achieve that dream that I really want to achieve?”

Do you resist change?

How do you swap from one thing to another without getting overwhelmed?

Geraldine talks about the subtleties of change, and the impact of implementing subtle changes can have on our personal life and business, setting boundaries, switching from office to work life, and more.
