b During the Values Conversation™, the client sometimes goes down a path about a particular aspect of their life, like travel, and may even get to level three, but then indicate that there are some level one and two responses in some other area of their life like children or community. How do we best encourage the client to transition to these other areas of their lives in the conversation without complicating or disrupting the flow of the process?
b In my Financial Road Map® Conversations I find that my clients want to talk about the deck, car and the children’s education when I am trying to dig out their Core Values. I am not sure if I am making mistakes or just need to redirect them to their values. I am telling them that we will discuss the Goals in just a few minutes but need for them to go through the Values Conversation™.
b I set up an Financial Road Map Interview™ with a client but the appointment, in his mind, is going to be like our previous appointments. It seemed jarring to him to launch into the Values Conversation™. He told me, very nicely, that his mind wasn't geared to think that way for this appointment and he really couldn't think of anything to say. I told him there were no wrong answers and that this was a fun exercise. We tried again and he was still stumped. I set it aside but wanted to know if there was a more graceful exit to the process and a better way to prep my potential clients other than that I am upgrading my business model, etc.?
