Negativity with Clients
Suggested Strategy: Focus on the perception of those that he/she comes
across as abrasive to – by taking the focus from them and putting it on
other people around them, they will be less likely to become defensive.
Suggested Questions:
→ Third-Party Question: How do you think that a client would describe
their interactions with you and their perception of your attitude?
→ Risk Question: What risks do you think you assume when your clients
do not feel satisfied with their interactions with you?
Suggested Activities:
→ Role Play: Practice a difficult client conversation – how does the
employee handle a difficult situation with a client? Without breaking out
of roles, have the employee play him/herself and you play the role of a
client. After the role-played conversation, ask them how they think the
conversation went, what they did well and what they could do better for
next time. Practice a new conversation that they will bring the topic of to
each coaching session.
