Savage Discovery call

New client - a referral from an existing client. This is the first Zoom meeting.

me: "Hi, how are things going?" - nice and open

client: "My 4 year old granddaughter is in hospital, they're not sure if she's going to make it"

me: "Ah, I'm so sorry to hear that, go and be with her!!"

client proceeds to discuss his granddaughter with me for 15 minutes. Maybe I should become a therapist.

That's very sad. I'm glad you were a human first. That person obviously needed to talk, and they won't forget your kindness.

Sounds like you handled it well. Not sure how you could make any type of transition away from that conversation unless they do it first.

Sounds like establishing next steps has become harder than it needs to be.
