Welch had no regrets about leaving the Thunderdome and resuming her freelance career. And she is proud of how she handled the conflict with Pauly.
“What I have learned is that sometimes it takes being honest and harsh at the same time. It’s not about being mean—it’s about staying strong and true to your business. And that’s how you last as a business.”
As mentioned earlier, it’s important to know the lay of the land when dealing with clients. What kind of situation are you walking into? Have you paid attention to the signals and listened carefully? Welch knew that the department’s employees had been there a long time, and that their efforts were stale. That was a sign that people would be resistant to the change she brought with her.
Are you headed into a situation where the client will try to take advantage of you because you are new? Are you headed into a politically charged environment where employees are trying to protect their jobs, and will tear you down to build themselves up? Liars and cheaters are everywhere. By knowing the political and ethical landscape you are in, you will be more able to anticipate them.
Your lawyer, accountant and other professional contacts may also know about the reputation of certain clients. While attorneys have ethical rules as to talking about their own clients, many know the reputation of their non-clients. And most other professionals are aware of the bad actors in town.
