Are you comfortable where you are when you're working with clients? If not, take some inspiration fr

I had this friend in San Francisco. He was the chief people officer at a tech startup. The CEO at this company was real difficult to manage. They had brought in so many different executive coaches to try to work with this guy, and he was pretty uncoachable. As a last resort, they actually hired a woman who works with movie stars out of L. A. She was exorbitantly expensive. And the very first call that he had with her, she was sitting on her bed cross legged and she's laughing and she's talking and she's swearing. And the key here is that she normalized it. She chose that that is the best place for her to take a work call and went with it. You are the boss of your own business, wherever you want to work. Your clients are just going to have to get used to that. And any client who's not willing to work with you because you're working someplace that's comfortable for you, they're not the right client for you. We get to redefine what our standard for professionalism is.
