PARTNER OR SERVANT?

Why clients should not define your self-worth

One of the ways in which self-worth transforms professional life is how we manage clients. In order to be trusted advisers, it’s vital to form partner relationships, not relationships based on servitude.

In this session, specially tailored for agencies and consultants, you will learn:

  • Some of the behaviours that create servant relationships with clients
  • How to introduce yourself as a partner vs. a servant
  • The significance of self-worth
  • Some of the Do’s and Don’ts of review meetings
  • An introduction to value-based pricing (if time allows)
  • Managing difficult clients, growing key accounts

“My team and I worked with John over two online sessions around self worth and professional identity. As a remote-first team it can sometimes feel difficult to connect with each other but John’s sessions allowed us to solidify our bond, be heard and be seen. He was attentive to the needs of each team member and everyone left feeling much stronger, and much more confident in their abilities than when they went in. It was a joy to work with John and I would highly recommend working with him to anyone considering it. A real gem!“
