My Client Wants to Be My Friend – What do I do?

Joannaig Square@2x

Picture this scenario: You’re doing great work with a client or with someone in a group you’re leading. And in the work, you show up as your awesome self with your wonderful personality. And then one day, maybe at the end of a session or maybe in an email, says “I love our sessions so much and also I feel like we have so much in common. Do you want to grab coffee?”

 In other words….what do you do when a client wants to hang out as friends? Is it the right thing to do? Is it the wrong thing to do? Would it be weird? How do I make this moment that they’re asking not be weird? Is it even allowed or ethical?

That’s what we’re going to be discussing today. So that you can be empowered and do the quote unquote right thing when this situation comes up! And this is an important topic not just about friendship, but about your coaching container with your client…keeping it clean and trustworthy and empowering and effective.
