Positive Client Relationships

Suggested Strategy: Use a Define & Coach Strategy to set the

expectations of what it means to build positive relationships with clients.

Positive to one person may have a completely different meaning from

another.

Suggested Questions:

→ Define & Coach: When I say the phrase positive client relationships ,

what definition do you think you might assign to it? What does building

positive relationships with clients mean to you?

→ Risk Question: What risks do you think you might mitigate by adopting

that definition in your own relationships with clients?

→ Self-Actualized Question: What actions are you committed to taking to

ensure that you are practicing this definition, and how will those actions

benefit you in your position?

Suggested Activities:

→ Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a whiteboard, write down

how this person currently builds relationships with clients. On the right

side of the board, write down how the individual would describe what

building positive relationships with clients would ideally look like based

on the previously discussed definition. Then, erase the left side of the

board and brainstorm together a list of actions that the employee must

take to reach that ideal description on the right side of the board.
