Hi Sandra,
I am happy to learn that you are open and honest with your clients. As Eric stated in his comment, some individuals will be grateful that you helped them to see what it will take to move forward rather than just keeping silent or agreeing with them in their particular course of action. On the other hand, some individuals may not want to hear the truth, but I liked that you explained that they should get a mentor from the field in order to help them to hear this directly from someone who is doing the work that they are interested in. You were very perceptive about her motives. What would you do differently to help her after reading Chapter 1? How could you assist someone that wanted a promotion but didn't want to put the effort in? What resources or workshops could or would you recommend?
Best,
Charise
