I had a very fruitful meeting for a possible new client. The project was interesting and there was keen interest by the potential client to use the services on offer.
Sounds good, said my colleague. We should send a proposal for the engagement.
I wasn't so sure. Project is interesting, fee may be decent as well but do I feel comfortable working with the client? A categorical NO emerged from within me.
The interaction with client was emotionally challenging. I would have had to deal with am emotional conflict on the assignment with the client. I found it difficult to accept his style of operation. This was not a knee jerk reaction but thought through analysis.
Professionally, it is the task that I commit to and should do the same. Personally I do not want to work with the individual.
What do I do? I have declined the assignment but the question still remains. Is it fair? Is it just?
Would a doctor take a decision to cure a patient based on liking? Should an advocate decide a client based on preference?
I have taken a decision but thinking is it right?
Any thoughts!

Heart says don't whereas mind says do. This is a constant battle. My experience is to choose the option that leaves me with positive feeling over time. Regardless of the choice one makes, it is better to be aware of this battle, know what is driving the decision and acknowledge the same.
