Difficult & Frustrating Clients

Suggested Strategy: Use questions to determine the person’s source of

frustration or stress when dealing with tough conversations with clients.

Suggested Questions:

→ Third-Party Question: If we

were to ask your peers how

they might describe your ability

to deal with frustrating or

difficult clients, what do you

think they might say?

→ Success Imperative: What

actions do you think you could

take to prepare yourself to

successfully handle difficult

clients?

Suggested Activities:

→ Brainstorming: Have the individual you are coaching share four

situations where they felt the most frustrated or stressed in working with

a client. Then have them tell you how they might have been able to

handle that situation professionally if they were giving advice to a peer in

the same situation.
