by

https://spencerinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/What-is-Life-Coaching_-Who-are-Life-Coaches_.jpgWhat is a Coach?

  • A coach is an individual who has the tools, focus, wisdom, intent, and knowledge to elicit a client’s values, goals, and beliefs and then is able to create a plan of action and strategies for success toward a defined outcome or result.
  • A coach is someone who is able to remain focused on the client’s outcome without becoming attached to it personally and by maintaining the flexibility required to be an exquisite guide.
  • Being an excellent Certified Life Strategies Coach requires knowledge, compassion, personal congruency, awareness of states of being and strategies of thinking and behaving, plus the ability to present multiple perspectives of a situation from a place of calm support.
  • A coach is a model for success in his/her own life and how he/she lives it. For a coaching client relationship to be effective, the coach must be consistent and trustworthy. This can only be achieved by creating rapport and by demonstrating respect and honesty.

How Coaches Are Reeling In The Majority Of Their Clients Now

by

How Coaches Are Reeling In The Majority Of Their Clients NowThere are two types of coaches in the world:

One works hard day in and day out, working on their craft but never seeming to gain traction with a client base. The other seamlessly sweeps new clients off their feet and builds a consistent, steady clientele over time.

What’s the difference between the two?

One is working harder. The other is working smarter.

You see, the key to gaining a solid client base as a coach comes down to one thing alone…

People trust in your expertise.

So how do you build that trust and reputation with your prospects?

It’s simple: All you have to do is talk about your craft. You can do this through information sessions, a YouTube channel, a podcast, and the easiest way is through a blog.

But if you know a couple little tips and tricks when it comes to understanding how business entities work, you can use them to your advantage. Oh and trust me… once you discover the loopholes and tax advantages, this information could be worth tens (if not hundreds) of thousands to you.

Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three main business entities: [Read more…]

The competition for new clients is growing as time goes on, so as a health and fitness professional, you need to make sure you are finding the exact places where your prospective clients hang out online.

Nutrition & Food Coaching Career Ideas (Have You Thought of These)

by

Nutrition-and-Food-Coaching-Career-Ideas

You have many options about how you will offer your nutrition-related services.

Some experts offer in-person, one-on-one coaching for their clients.
Others offer the same service online. Still, others offer some type of hybrid program where the clients receive a portion of their coaching in-person and other aspects online via email, Skype, Zoom video, text and/or PDF documents.

Some nutrition and food experts are combining their efforts and offering personal fitness chef services or creating a meal prep business in addition to nutrition coaching. 

In most cases, people hire you for food or nutrition services for 2 reasons.  First, they know they need to improve their nutritional habits.  Second, they are short on time and want services that save them time.  They are willing to pay top dollar for anything that saves them time.  

Of course, many coaches work with entire families.  

Why is it a great idea to help an entire family?

1. You improve your efficiency by working with more clients at a single location.
2. They get better results due to a group effort.
3. You get more people to refer you new clients.
4. Your rate for a family of 4 is higher than a single person.
5. It makes a great case study (social media) story for your business.

You may be wondering how you would run a food/chef/meal prep business.
