Are the medical mandates for the fitness industry in Australia stressing you out right now? I get it, change can be hard. Here are some ideas on how to not only lead and keep your people in this time, but to also be able to see more opportunities than you may be seeing right now. Regardless of your beliefs around what you mandate, or don’t lets do it with ethics, rather than division and continue to lead and help your clients (the most important thing). That’s what they want you for. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support or to simply ask a question during this time. I’m making myself available to everyone, even if you aren’t a client. We can do this Australia. ——— For other resources, including free groups, videos, courses on this and other topics, see the website; www.katemartinmentor.com

A quick podcast on staff & contractors and training them to keep them. This was something I made for an old client I’m still in touch with, who went from thinking she might quit this health, (Personal trainer and massage therapist) gig... To a few years later, wayyy after she’s finished working me, it now being 2020/2021, she now has 8 staff in her clinic! (Prior to ‘pausing’ due to the lockdowns in Sydney). This info is applicable regardless of if they are contractors or employees. For more info see the website and blog; www.katemartinmentor.com

Discussing all things 'being driven', 'losing everything' & 'changing' right now, from 2020 and beyond. In this interview with fellow health coach Alex Gil from Vitalé Studio - Movement, Nutrition & Lifestyle.   We talk all things about her growth during this time and how she now helps clients;   - hope for right now - taking radical responsibility for our current and past traumas and   - how change is happening 'for us' not 'to us', as bloody hard as that is to concept during these times of massive loss that we are experiencing as the human race. Hear her story of how she has re-built her coaching practice.   We also discussed; What are you really here on Earth for? How will you contribute?

Here are some of the times I could have given up. No one has success in a straight line, no one. This audio was made because I had a conversation with a client who said me telling her this made her feel much better about her own past. She’d been telling me why it would be hard for her to put herself out there on social media (a very common story). While they are all very valid reasons I then shared with her some of the times in my career that I could’ve ‘given up’. That I could’ve packed it in, that I perhaps shouldn’t do it because clearly I wasn’t good enough, & all because people either stole or copied my work or basically told me I shouldn’t be doing ‘the thing’. And while I don’t share these stories much any more & nor do I feel much ‘charge’ around them, I thought it important to put some of them in one place. So that you know it’s not a straight line for anyone. Nothing is. Instead, just simply focus on helping your people, rather than listening to what others say... and if you get knocked down, get the fuck back up again and remember why you were put here.
