One of my more affluent clients handed me a check today at the end of our coaching session. It was blank in every line, except where it had been signed.
I raised my eyebrow inquisitively, while looking at her.
With a sly smile she said "you know Jennifer, you could put anything you want on that. In fact, you could take yourself away on a very nice extended holiday".
A sigh escaped my lips as I warmed at the sentiment. It is a powerful feeling to be trusted so very deeply, not just with my clients personal issues, but also with her families bank account.
