Why Coaching

What Brings Clients to Coaching?

Although people come to coaching for their own unique reasons, twelve themes are commonly cited by clients when they make the decision to invest in working with a wellness, health, or fitness coach:

1. Quick Fixes Over – “I’m done with quick fixes and want to make changes that last.”

2. Precious Asset – “I have decided that health is my most precious asset and I’m ready to invest for the long term.”

3. Get off the Fence – “I am fed up with sitting on a fence and want to commit to a wellness path.”

4. Not about Weight – “I realize that it’s about wellness and not weight.”

5. Be the Boss – “I want to be the boss of my health and wellness and quit delegating responsibility to others.”

6. Health Style – “I’d like to develop my unique health style rather than use one-size-fits-all approaches.”

7. Mental Game – “I know what to do and now want to master the mental game, turning intention into reality.”

8. Peak Performance – “I recognize that to reach peak performance at home and work I need peak wellness.”

9. Big Picture / Small Steps – “I know that an extreme makeover isn’t the answer and I want to take small steps which are powerful.”

10. Confidence – “I’m finished with self-doubt and want to build confidence in my ability to master wellness.”

11. Winning the Wellness Game – “I want to focus on winning the wellness game and not losing or quitting.”

12. Close the Gap – “I want to close the gap between where I am and where I want to be when it comes to my health and well-being.”
