Wondering what to do when your clients aren’t showing up + doing the work – or if they ARE showing up, they’re only giving about 50% (and, as a result, they’re not getting the results they’d hoped for)? Welcome to showbiz, baby! This episode is for you.
Today, I’m sharing how I handled unmotivated or ghosting clients when I was a fitness coach and providing insight into how you can approach *your* clients who are either falling off the wagon or have completely checked out.
You’ll get my best advice for reconnecting with clients in a kind, nonjudgmental way and supporting them by meeting them where they are – not where you want them to be (hint: trying to force someone into compliance is NOT the vibe).
In this episode, I cover:
