Linda, here is my opinion:
Absolutely positively you should remove them.
Here is why:
Your most important obligation is to your client.
It is the long term relationship with HER that counts the
most. And you want to build your business in such way that makes
them happy - even if you would prefer to do some things otherwise.
If it is not good for client - it is not good for you. And who is
to decide what is good for her and what is not? Only she, herself.
Unless you have a serious conflict of interest, let her have it
her way.
I have some VERY high profile clients. And it would do me really
good if I could mention that I am or was their coach. But for one
reason or another some of them prefer to keep our relationship
confidential.
If someone wants confidentiality - it is one of those things that
is oh-so-easy to give.
It doesn't take extra woirk or extra capital.
Not even extra time.
Give confidentiality to your clients too.
I am sure you can find some other graphic to demonstrate your
ability - it is MUCH easier to substitute a graphic than the
on-going relationship you will obviously jeopardize otherwise.
Hope this helps.
sunny greetings,
