How do I deal with a coaching client who comes to the session with no agenda?

In this episode we consider some different approaches for coaching a client who comes to their first coaching session with no agenda, no goal and perhaps no real hunger to work on themselves. Especially when you're starting out as a coach and your fees are relatively low or perhaps you coach pro bono as part of your training, this is a common issue for life coaches.Coaches in organisations also face this issue often as the client in the room is not paying for the service and so they can be less committed to the process. If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, would like to talk to us about coaching or generally support what we do: - Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoaching- Sign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://mailchi.mp/afc10fc74492/talkingaboutcoaching- Listen to episodes: http://talkingaboutcoaching.buzzsprout.com/- Like our Facebook page: http://fb.me/TalkingAboutCoaching- Join our Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3023068731067611/- Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/talkingaboutcoachingSupport the show- Never miss an episode:https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/- Yannick's Coaching Nuggets: https://gocoachinglab.com/nuggets- Free Starter Kit for new coaches: https://rocketsupervision.com/coaching-starter-kit/- More deep dives at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEK9UENWT66D6uqPJhCznXNhc9Ba9jite- Short episodes of TaC addressing specific questions: https://www.youtube.com/talkingaboutcoaching- Support what we do with a positive review, a comment or by telling a friend or colleague about this episode.- Watch COACHING DEMOS from many of our guests in Yannick's Lab. Membership: https://gocoachinglab.com/Upcoming Labs: https://bit.ly/FutureCoachingLabsFREE taster sessions: https://rocketsupervision.com/coaching-lab-coaching-sessions/ Thanks for being a coach.
