Unlocking Client Personality Types Series: The Secret to Stress-Free Communication

Ever had a client who needed every detail in a spreadsheet before making a decision? Or one who vanished for weeks, only to return with a completely new vision? Every client brings their own unique energy to a project. Some thrive on structure, while others lead with passion. Some need reassurance, and others just want you to take the wheel.

Understanding your client’s personality type isn’t just a fun exercise—it’s the key to smoother communication, fewer headaches, and a project that actually stays on track. Knowing your client’s personality helps you adjust your approach, prevent issues, and create a smooth, stress-free experience for everyone.
