Our life will be different if we receive more acknowledgment; acknowledgment endorses and encourages what we are doing. We will be more enthusiastic and will take more action. When someone acknowledged us, we feel great and full of energy; it will encourage us to do more and more. Life will be difficult without acknowledgment, we do not know whether what we are doing is right or wrong, whether we need to continue or not.
Acknowledging clients in coaching session create better relationship. By acknowledging clients know we walk besides and support them, and they are in the right tract. Acknowledging cheers clients up and enthuses clients to move forward and take more action.
My client who was a consultant recently considering to provide services to her client with lower rate of fee; she was not sure whether she wanted to accept the offer or not. I coached her and asked her many questions, especially regarding to the future benefits of having this client such as potential of providing more services, getting references and referrals. She identified such benefits and understood that she can not only focus on the present value of money but also the potential benefits of the future, and decided to accept the offer. I stated that she was really made a good decision and in the right track. I acknowledged her for her wise decision.
