"What can I expect in a session with you?"

Such a seemingly simple question, but speaking to a potential client earlier today was the first time I’ve heard it so directly. I thanked them for a great question, and then responded as best I could without preparation. I like what came out, and stand by it after having had the evening to reflect.

“Well, I’m curious by nature and made more so by training. My plan is to get really curious about what your goals are, as well as barriers keeping you from getting there. My hope is that by satisfying my curiosity you will also get a little clearer yourself, and then we can work together to find ways through or around the barriers and move closer to your goals.”

Figured it was worth a share, just in case anyone else has similar questions.
