Great projects are not just defined by the finished product but by the relationships with the clients and teams that are developed along the way. It is like a dynamic dance that slides and twirls, rises and falls, is slow and is fast all within a continuous interface of communication and execution. Everyone needs to be in the same rhythm that requires trust and knowledge of the other person with each step. Listening is one of the most important aspects to building client relationships in efforts to understand a client’s goals and aspirations before the first line is drawn. These are the key traits to a client relationship that create lasting partnerships and hopefully lead to future dances.
