[Newman]

There can be some embarrassing moment when a coach may be asked some questions by his students. Though the situation may be bad not to be imagined, it doesn't mean that the situation cannot be handled.

If this situation happens, there are some things coaches can do to prevent being ridiculed, as students may expect him to know all the questions.

He can jokingly tell the class that he would love to read more on it to give them the best answers. Hope that is not embarrassing?

There is nothing bad in not knowing things. A coach is not meant tj know everything. But he needs to know different ways of letting the clients know that he doesn't know. He can give them as assignment. He can come out straight that he hasn't read much about the topic.

First, I break it down and see what it's really asking. If I don't know the answer right away, I just think it through using what I do know. Sometimes I ask a clarifying question or quickly check stuff if I can. I remind myself it's totally fine to not have all the answers. Basically, I just stay chill, think it through, and don't stress about being right on the spot.

A coach is not all knowing. It is possible that a coach will not something that may be asked by the students. Let them know that you don't know. It is not really a big deal. Then make sure that you are working towards reading more to know it in case of another day.

When I get a tough question, I usually just take a deep breath and try to figure out what it's really asking. I break it down into smaller bits and deal with one piece at a time. I just think it through and try to make sense of it. Sometimes I ask for a bit more info to make sure I got it right. Honestly, I kinda enjoy tricky questions because they make me think in ways I normally wouldn't.

Not knowing an answer to a particular question doesn't really matter. In fact, it doesn't remove the fact that you are still a qualified freelancer. You only need to make sure that you take excuse from the clients for you to prepare more about the class in case of another time.

It's completely normal not to have all the answers as a freelancer. Being honest about not knowing something and offering to research and provide more information later is a professional way to handle such situations. It shows your willingness to learn and improve, which can be highly appreciated by clients.
