If the coaching approach is truly the issue, simply adapt accordingly. But in a scenario where 'client says that it doesn't work for them', there's 2 glaring areas to look into. The first is that the coach is unaware of the lack of rapport and needs to address this first. Whether the client decides to continue the coaching is irrelevant. All progress and coaching stops until this is resolved. There can be no coaching without rapport. The second is listening again. Coaches miss opportunities to ask good quality questions simply by not paying enough attention. It can be as simple as not catching how the client has "designed their problems" or that the client has an ulterior motive for holding onto their behaviour. Go back and ask again.

Think about self management and what is going on for you as a coach What is it that is hindering the progress? A huge part of the rike is clearing the path. If your coachee is stressed, you need to create the space so the work can happen and that is why self management is key. Use explore and empathy to get yo where your client is so they can explore that, understanding the situation and with your skills help them to set the goals and vision through Innovate power. Also help them to shift through PQ Prepping or other mindful practices to a more positive state so they can experience and develop the insight to shift when triggered. Lastly knowing where your client's at is key so the support matches where they're at and what is manageable.

Coaching relies on 'no one size fits all', hence refrains from a standard formula, rather explores the situations constructively with the coachee. It is a similar situation, while a coach may have a preferred approach to facilitate coaching, however, the rule remains the same 'no one size fits all'. Therefore (1) character profiling helps during initial sessions to alter the coaching approach to make it most effective. (2) Even if it has been a miss initially, an open conversation with the coachee to understand what could be done differently in sessions can help.
