We asked some brilliant folks to tell us about the best advice they’ve ever given to a client and have highlighted some of the responses below.
Dr. Michelle Laging
The best advice that I have given to several of my clients is “permission”. Permission to show up exactly how they are that day, permission to share as much or as little as feels comfortable and safe in that moment, permission to move their bodies in ways that align with their values, permission to rest their tired and worn out bodies, permission to have emotions and know that all are valid and welcome, permission to challenge their beliefs, permission to want to make a change and feel resistance against it.

The best advice that I give to nearly all of my clients is to stop looking outside of themself for happiness, validation, or change. It might sound simple enough, but when you really stop and consider how much of your mind and how much of your time is spent on trying to please others and/or trying to get pleasure from situations, things, or people, you will realize that it is, in fact, only causing stress.

Most of the men I work with want to lose weight, have more energy, and confidence. My best advice for men that fit that description is to be patient. Far to many men try to speed up the process of fat-loss by eating overly restrictive diets and performing overly intense workout programs. These men do well for a few weeks and even see some results, but eventually life gets busy, their business or job picks up, or a vacation arrives, and eventually they crash and burn. These are the guys who are constantly starting and stopping their health and fitness habits. When life calms down they’re all in, and they again try to blitz their way to their physique, fitness, and health goals, until of course they can’t! A great example of this is a client who for privacy sake I’ll call Paul. Read more>>

My most constant piece of advice as a therapist/counselor is, “STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE!” If a client is a parent, and I hear them putting their “helicopter” in motion, I look at them and ask, “Are you staying in your own lane with how you handled this?” If I have a wife who wants her husband to change, we discuss how “STAYING IN YOUR OWN LANE” would better serve them in getting the results they desire. If I hear a friend thinking another friend needs to change or is trying too hard to control a situation, I will wonder aloud, Read more>>

Take a moment for yourself every day, put your feet in the grass, find a quiet space for few moments, anything to help ground you and allow a moment of just for you. Clients have said they find a sense of peace and calmness to their mind and body when allow a moment for themselves daily. Read more>>

Good communication is at the heart of every good business; it is the foundation of great work and lasting relationships. How well you communicate is crucial to creating a productive, efficient and collaborative workflow with excellent results, especially in Real Estate. I advise my clients quite often on the importance of “over-communicating”. Over-communication helps prevent misunderstandings, keeps crucial information top of mind, and ensures everyone is on the same page. My goal is to deliver excellent service that can only be accomplished when we are on the same page. Read more>>
