It's harder to be in my self esteem and just smile when clients are saying nothing, giving them space to feel safe to say what they think they need next. I can always be the expert when asked for my opinion. I seemed to get asked much less frequently than I have an opinion, ha, ha. It's good to be reminded of this, during my busy season when clients are overwhelmed by stuff outside of our work together. Less is often more! Being "liked" is more important than getting a lot of work done. It didn't used to be that way in corporate work, but it's that way working directly with clients. And when I let the clients take it in any direction they want....it blows my mind where they go. It's way more fun. I make the mistake of being the expert sometimes.
