This EP is a solo session with yours truly.  A recording of a recent presentation I did for our Reconditioning Revolution Mastermind Community on navigating your work with the five types of clients, and creating a client portfolio that inspires you.  During our time in professional practice, we've recognized that not all clients are alike, not all clients are attracted to the same approach or motivated by the same set of interventions. Building an inspiring practice is about finding your niche with the clients that get you up in the morning and the kinds of problems you like to solve. Managing these clients effectively will go a long way to defining your client portfolio and the type of work you love doing. At www.ReconditioningHQ.com our objective is to help you create an inspiring and fulfilling professional practice, check out our courses today.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI
