Sometimes it can be difficult to separate your feelings from those of your clients. They’re going through something hard in their business, their energy is depleted and they are coming to you for guidance.How do you ensure you can hold space for their feelings and work through their issues, without taking on their energy?Today, I want to share with you a personal experience with a client that taught me valuable lessons in managing not just my energy, but also that of my clients.I have three go-to strategies that I hope will help you to maintain your energy levels.1. Preparing for Challenging ConversationsAnticipating the emotional intensity of client discussions and mentally preparing myself helps me approach each interaction with clarity and empathy. Setting boundaries and being in the right mindset before a session is crucial.2. The Role of Physical Activity to Move EnergyTaking a solitary walk or engaging in a calming activity like journaling or meditation allows me to decompress and process the emotions that arise during intense client conversations. Physical movement and quiet reflection work wonders in restoring balance.3. Listening to Your GutRecognising the signals your body sends in response to stress or discomfort is essential. Trusting your instincts and acting on them can prevent emotional overload and help you work through challenging situations. As you come across clients burdened with heavy emotions or challenging situations, remember to prioritise self-care, set clear boundaries, and trust your intuition. By managing your energy effectively, you not only safeguard your well-being but also enhance your capacity to support and empower those you work with.LINKS:Gallup Strengths AssessmentMarco Polo AppWebsiteFor a copy of Emma's book, 'Go-getter: Raise your mojo, shift your mindset and thrive' – https://www.emmamcqueen.com.au/book/
