"Concentrate on the client's you do have instead of the client's you don't have" I joined LTB back in December 2013 and the first person I spoke to was a guy named Ian Stevenson. When he started in LTB, he was running a bootcamp that he charged £1 per session for, now he's got a facility with over 120 members in it and 2 members of staff. If you ever wanted some inspiration for building something out of very little in our world of personal training, Ian is one of the best examples you'll see. He's had more ups and downs than most and will likely be the first to tell you "the big red fuck-it button" still exists, but he's an excellent example of someone who has built something with his members in the forefront of his mind throughout, tried his best to learn & grow whenever possible and asked for help & support when he's needed it. For anyone who tunes into this one and can't make out what we're saying, I'm sorry but you're just going to have to make do as the transcription service had no chance and subtitles don't exist on podcasts haha.

"Use 90% of your time making your strengths stronger and 10% of your time neutralising your weaknesses" Great to welcome Krista back on to the show. Her previous episodes have been incredibly popular and I've spoken numerous times about how much she's taught me, especially from a coaching standpoint. Loads of cool topics covered in this episode! Topics Covered: How she structures and sets up her day. Why self-care is such an important value to Krista and to Precision Nutrition. How the meaning of self-care has changed over the course of her career. How she has managed a huge recent life change. How to embrace the uncertainty that life sometimes brings. How much of her own life she reveals to her clients. How to use strategic self-disclosure to improve connection. Why it's fantastic that so many new coaches are coming into the industry having been in other careers. Why it's so important to go and get other experiences as a coach. What she would tell herself if she could go back to day one of being a coach about understanding how to figure whom you enjoy training.
