Alloy Personal Training Business How To Work With Landon Smith
In this episode, we talk about how to train and work right even when the job gets monotonous. Landon shares with us his journey from college and how he got into fitness. He tells us about his early days as a coach and how he learned from his mistakes. How he was open to feedback and how that helped overcome challenges.
We delve deeper into professional behavior on and off the floor. How to relate to your clients in a friendly manner while still showing them respect without sounding too formal.
We then talk about fighting the imposter syndrome that often creeps in. You are well qualified for your job but still feel inadequate at times especially when you are dealing with people much older than you. This is not a bad thing as it forces you to work even harder and improve your skills.
Finally, we talk about the perceived glass feeling we feel we have hit when we do the same job for a long time. Landon opines that self-reflection and self-evaluation is how to overcome this feeling. There is no ceiling to improving our skills. That way, when an opportunity arises we are well-prepared to handle it just as Landon has the amazing opportunity to expand Alloy to the Charlotte market.
Stay tuned for more.
