In my first year of helping coaches to build their coaching business, one of my clients asked for a full refund after I spent 6 months of private work with her. I was floored and had not seen this coming! I found out later that she had asked for a full refund from her coaching training school as well and I knew that this was really about her needing money. I had a phone conversation with her and told her that I couldn’t in good conscience refund her because I had already given her my time and her post program results were her responsibility — something I could not control. But she threatened to complain to Visa, Better Business Bureau and PayPal, so I gave her a full refund to remove those threats. I thought it was just as well that she wouldn’t be a coach. And, I felt compassion that her financial straits were such that she was searching for money. I will never again give a full refund for time that I already spent one on one with a client unless my integrity is clear that I should.
