PT Profit Podcast The Life & Business of Coaching with Lindsey Heiserman
If you're listening to this podcast, then you probably already understand that coaching is a diverse and meaningful field whose impact is constantly underestimated. The transformation provided by fitness coaches might often be the initial focus, but the personal benefits of that transformation that crop up in other areas of your clients' lives are plentiful.
Coaches, it is vital to recognize the support you give your clients not just in their fitness trajectory but also how they take those lessons into their real life.
How many of you go through leading a workout, training, or appointment and end up realizing, "Oh, wow, we talked about a lot!" during the session?
Today I have Lindsey Heiserman with me here to talk me through her fitness journey, what led her into counseling, and how that has translated into coaching. Lindsey is not only a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT-NASM) but also holds a Master's in Psychotherapy, and we take a deep dive into the nuances that the personal impact that coaching has.
Today, you'll hear all about:
- How the one thing you might be afraid to teach is the one thing that could make the biggest impact.
- How you can make group coaching sessions comfortable for all involved.
- Lindsey's recommendations for coaches who have just gotten certified.
...and more!
