About this event
Coaches invariably encounter resistance from clients—whether when entering into a coaching relationship or as the engagement proceeds. This session explores what resistance actually is, how it presents, and what it may be signaling beneath the surface. Coaches will gain a toolbox of questions to ask themselves and their clients to unpack resistance with clarity and care. The session also explores how AI can help coaches sharpen their skills and approaches.
