If you want to truly go deep with clients, you don If you want to truly go deep with clients, you don’t need great Listening Skills; you need exceptional Listening Skills.⁠

Positive Thinking is often misused and unwittingly Positive Thinking is often misused and unwittingly abused by gurus, healers, and other practitioners. And when this happens, Positivity hurts clients, stalls clients from true growth and self-acceptance, and creates obstacles to reaching their desired goals.⁠
⁠
You might be misusing Positivity without even realizing it.⁠
In today’s practitioning & transformational industry, positive thinking, obsessively repeating affirmative & upbeat mantras, “love & light”-ing when someone is in a bad place or we’ve inadvertently hurt someone else, and relying on our being “Spiritual” to make all things OK are often being used dangerously & recklessly.⁠
⁠
When used incorrectly, Positivity turns into what some call “Spiritual Bypassing”. And here’s what can happen when you Spiritual Bypass as a practitioner:⁠
⁠
- Clients end up feeling unseen and unheard.⁠
- Or worse – clients feel very temporarily uplifted, but in the long run…self-sabotaging.⁠
- Or even worse (in my opinion) – clients actually go deeper into loathing themselves and their imperfections⁠
⁠
We as transformational practitioners must avoid this “Spiritual Bypassing” because it will only drive our clients away from where they are destined to be. This is why it is so important for us as transformational practitioners to accept and honor the beautiful and not so beautiful parts of our clients and their lives.⁠

You can only take your clients as far as you have You can only take your clients as far as you have gone yourself. Period. ⁠
⁠
To be an exceptional practitioner that your clients trust and truly learn from, you must be solidly committed to your own inner work. To go deeper with clients, you must work through your own fears & shadows, look at your own belief systems, challenge your own habits and patterns⁠

She didn’t think she could make it to the top... She didn’t think she could make it to the top...but she kept on working at it...and got there!
The transformational industry is FULL of gurus who The transformational industry is FULL of gurus who seem picture perfect. They have “perfect” businesses; they apparently learn their lessons very quickly; they apparently don’t make mistakes; they apparently don’t really have sh*t happen to them⁠
⁠
This is damaging to their communities – and specifically to their clients. Because no one is perfect, no one’s business is perfect, no one’s health is perfect, etc. But your clients believe that if you – their practitioner or leader – don’t have frustrations, don’t have obstacles, don’t have hardships, that they should be able to attain it too.⁠
⁠
That’s a setup for failure, for frustration, and for unhappiness.⁠
⁠
When I am with my clients and students, I never hesitate to share about my not-so-great moments, my not-so-great launches, my not-so-pretty feelings. I am human, just like my client is human, and we are bound to have imperfect lives and businesses. And this is as it should be.⁠
When we are facilitating, we need to remember that when we show that we struggle with some things, that things don’t always go according to our plans….we are giving permission to our clients to not be so hard on themselves, to not be so self-judgmental, and to not think something is very wrong with them because they haven’t achieved enough.⁠
⁠
This is the ONLY way real growth can happen. And this is the ONLY way real movement towards goals can happen.⁠

Yes, you heard me right: whether I’ve been worki Yes, you heard me right: whether I’ve been working with my client for years….or even if we are just at the very beginning of our transformational relationship and I don’t know my client that well yet… first and foremost, I am always going to love & honor my client.⁠
⁠
I know there are some folks out there that might be totally horrified at the suggestion to LOVE your clients (“Love isn’t for professional relationships….”), but I feel strongly that whether it’s a personal client, a corporate client, an in-person client, a virtual client… the core, of the core, of the core of a powerful relationship requires love⁠
