Back with Cody McBroom as we hit up our monthly coaching roundtable diving in depth into questions we receive about program design, coaching, nutrition, mindset, and business.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

=> The hybrid approach to training allows for maintaining muscle while pursuing other fitness goals, when done right; here’s the guidelines. 

=> Effective coaching requires understanding the client's life context and challenges. This is the “art” part of coaching but here are the resources that are a MUST.

=> Environment plays a crucial role in shaping fitness behaviors and outcomes. How do you help a client build an environment that supports them when they feel it’s out of their control.

=> Genetics influence performance, but dedication and training can lead to significant improvements. How much can you really improve? This will blow your mind.

=> Community and support systems are vital for sustained motivation and success in fitness. When a client doesn’t have it what is the solution?

=> Behavior change is a key component of coaching, requiring skill in communication and empathy. Many coaches need to upgrade this skill, Cody and Luka share a number of principles, strategies, and tools. 

=> Coaches should focus on small, actionable steps to avoid overwhelming clients. Most clients take on fitness and nutrition as if they’ve entered a video game at level 52, the coach needs to adjust it to their level 1!

=> It's important to create a safe space for clients to discuss their challenges and feelings and asking the right questions can help clients uncover their own solutions - here are the questions. 

=> Coaching is an ongoing learning process that involves teaching and practicing skills. A coaching relationship requires active listening and understanding. My favorite exercise I teach coaches to improve.

=> Every scenario in life can be an opportunity for coaching, and how to not overstep the coaching boundaries.

=> Building a coaching business is about developing a toolbox of skills from marketing, sales, content creation, listening, leadership, operations, and much more.

=> Improving communication is crucial for personal and professional relationships; it will upgrade every area of your life when you dedicate deliberate practice to this skill.

=> Transitioning to intuitive eating requires redefining flexible dieting. We share some principles of when it’s ok to transition to intuitive eating and why it’s not a “free for all.”

=> Identity plays a significant role in sustaining weight loss and no strategy or approach will work long term without a shit in identity. 

=> Daily weigh-ins can help clients stay accountable without emotional attachment, here’s how you do that with a client.
