 Hi I'm George Cao and this short video is for all of you service providers out there. Those who are coaches, consultants, counselors, those who have clients and would all would like to continue improving your services for your clients. So some service providers are very flexible, maybe too flexible with their clients. They just talk about whatever the client wants to talk about. Just kind of go with the flow and there's no there's no real framework to it. And other service providers feel like they have such a powerful framework such a powerful you know five-step plan or 12-step plan or something that they do everything they can to mold their client's attention to that five-step framework or whatever. Now I'll tell you I have definitely been on both sides of the spectrum and I find that I'm learning I used to be a lot more on the framework side forcing every every student client into a particular framework and for the last two years I think I've probably been too much on the going with the flow side because the framework that I have is so ingrained within me that I have I think falsely thought that oh I don't need to follow a framework anymore because it's so it's so I'm so good good at it now or something like that but I think that I'm coming back to more of a balance now to say okay I still need to listen for for where the client's energy is going what is she really excited about what problems does she continue to struggle with what does she need to remind it that kind of thing but then I also need to adapt my framework to meet the client's needs so that we do keep occasionally bringing back to the framework so that we can have some structure around the growth and I hope this is helpful for you as well to think about so it is good to have a framework of some kind and and the framework that you have whether it's a it's a map of how your client's transformation happens with you or it's a 12-step process it does need to keep I do keep improving my own framework over time based on what's really working for clients and what's not right so I hope you keep doing that but also we need to listen for the client's energy so let's let's aim to strike as service providers let's aim to strike a nice balance between those two extremes I hope this is helpful and in the notes of this video I'll include the link to my framework um so I always open I'm always open to your comments your own experience and any questions you might have or things you want to discuss just put that underneath the video and until the next video I wish you um joyful service with your clients
