End Venting Without Silencing Your Client
Are you getting stuck when coaching clients seem to ONLY want to complain?
Imagine this:
The coaching conversation you had so purposefully planned for has quickly gone off the rails. Somehow, you're 45 minutes into a non-stop venting session with no end in sight.
You want to redirect them, but you're afraid.
What if you…
🤔 Interrupt too soon and damage trust
🤔 Try to redirect and come across as dismissive
…But you know if you let it continue, you'll never get to actual coaching!
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
💡Join us for a FREE webinar on Wednesday, March 18, 2026 at 12 pm PT, where you'll learn how to interrupt emotional ruts to make productive conversations possible and see it happen in a live coaching demonstration.
Spots for the live webinar are limited to the first 1000 people who log on. A recording of the webinar will be sent to all registrants and is available to replay for one month.
🌟 Learn how to use our webinars as ready-made professional development for your team—without having to design a single slide yourself.
