How to Disrupt the Powerful Barriers That Keep Your Client Stuck
Why do clients get stuck?
To fully understand what keeps our clients at a standstill, we need to look deeper at what causes the neurophysiological patterns that lead to gridlock, and how the unconscious brain creates biases that keep our clients immobilized.
And we need to look at new ways to approach the core fear that traps our clients inside a holding pattern of stagnation.
So we sat down with 15 of the greatest experts in our field to ask them how they work with clients who are stuck. This is what they told us. . .
