Why Your Coaching Clients Don't Do The Work - today! 7pm UK (8pm CET, 3pm EDT). Bring one stuck client in mind. Register here

Your client leaves the call motivated. Next week: "I just didn't get round to it." Most of us have two explanations ready. "The client wasn't ready." or "I didn't inspire them enough." Both are wrong. On Monday 26 October I'm running a live workshop here in the community on what's actually going on, and how to diagnose it. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗗𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 • Date: Monday 26 October 2026 • Time & Link: in Classifieds see the Calendar tab • Length: 1 hr 👉 What we'll cover The LOOP framework. Four places a client's plan can break down, and how to tell which one you're dealing with: Landscape: everything in the environment holding your client back in the 167 hours of their week you don't coach for. Operation: the behaviour itself. Something you could actually see happen, not a feeling or a good intention. Output: what the action leaves behind. "Busy" and "progress" are not the same thing. Payoff: what the behaviour gives your client. This is why "bad habits" refuse to die. 👉 What you'll walk away with ✅ A way to look at any stuck client and pinpoint where they're stuck, instead of falling back to "motivation" ✅ Bring a stuck client example to work on. We'll run real cases through LOOP live, so you see it working on the kind of clients you actually coach. ✅ Head to the Calendar tab and add it to your calendar now so it doesn't get buried under your own full desk :-\) See Calendar for timezone

Scrolling. Snacking. Checking email instead of doing deep work. People tend to call these "bad habits". And that's why they never go away. Calling a behaviour "bad" doesn't explain why it keeps happening. Nothing your nervous system does is meaningless. If a behaviour is still happening, something is rewarding for it. A lot of the time, that reward is Relief. Your client sits down to the hard thing. The stress builds. Their phone goes bing, and they turn to Messenger notifications or scrolling Instagram. That's an instant hit of relief. So the "bad habit" is a solution. A very effective one, to a problem your client hasn't named yet. Here's where coaching goes wrong. If you don't know what the behaviour is rewarding, you can't change it. You're asking your client to walk away from something that reliably makes them feel better, in exchange for nothing but a vague sense that they should. That's not a fair fight. The old habit will win every time. So stop asking "how do I get them to stop?" Start asking "what's the payoff?" That Payoff is the fourth part of our behavioural LOOP. All four parts together show you exactly why your client is stuck. We cover these four elements in our upcoming workshop

Your client didn't follow through. Again. Most coaches reach for one of two explanations: The client is resistant. Or I need to coach harder. So we coach harder: Daily check-in messages. Tracking sheets. A more passionate pep talk. But when you stop chasing, the client stops moving. In effect, you're renting out your own prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that does the self-control, because theirs isn't getting the job done. It costs you both in time and energy. Your client starts acting to avoid the discomfort of your next message. Push hard enough and they stop replying altogether. And you end up burning out from all the extra work you're taking on. Here's a quick check for your own practice: If you went silent for two weeks, which of your clients would keep moving? The ones who wouldn't aren't lazy. Their environment is sabotaging them, and you are the only thing holding it back. Finding what that something is, is what Why Clients Don't Do the Work is about.
