The 3 Costly Health Coach Errors You’re Probably Making — And How Fixing Them Could Skyrocket Your Client Success Overnight
(You’re supposed to be the expert, right??)
According to Coach Kate, the above belief—that you’re supposed to be an authority with all the answers—is based on an erroneous assumption.
“When I show up to a coaching conversation, my role is not ‘the expert,’” she says.
Yes, coaches have to show up to client interactions with a baseline of nutrition knowledge. (For example, if a client asks you about good sources of protein, you should be able to list some.)
But coaches don’t have to show up with a prepared lecture, or encyclopedic knowledge of nutrition minutia or biochemistry. (You don’t have to feel bad if you can’t recall the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 in flax oil, or all the steps in the Krebs cycle that produces ATP.)
