When I work with a client, or write to my Secret Coach Club subscribers, I tell it like it is.
My clients and subscribers aren't looking for a best buddy who will tell them only what they want to hear - they're paying me to help them grow their businesses ... and sometimes they're going to be challenged.
I recall a quote I read in "Co-Active Coaching" (Fourth Edition):
"Truth telling doesn't have to be confrontational, although it may confront ... Truth telling refuses to sidestep or overlook: it boldly points out when the emperor is not wearing clothes. There is no inherent judgement in telling the truth ... withholding the truth serves neither the coachee nor the coaching relationship"
If you're looking for solid advice from someone who doesn't pull his punches, the June issue of Secret Coach Club heads to the printer this weekend and includes some special, never-seen-before bonuses:
If you grab an annual SCC subscription this week, you'll also get access to the new monthly live Q and A calls I'm doing with subscribers (value $2500) and you'll also get my "10 Clients In 90 Days" program, which I usually sell for $1997.
