- **Customize your approach**: Tailor methods to align with the client's values and goals, making new techniques more relatable.
- **Engage in active listening**: Understand their concerns and hesitations to address them directly and build trust.

Resistance often stems from unfamiliarity. Instead of convincing, I focus on co-creating. By inviting clients to explore their 'why' and aligning coaching methods with their core values, we unlock curiosity. It’s not about forcing modern techniques but helping them see how these approaches amplify their goals. For example, reframing change as a discovery, not a disruption, often sparks a shift. When we create a space where they feel understood, not pushed, even the most traditional mindsets start to embrace the power of innovation. It’s less about changing them, more about showing them the transformation already within their grasp.
