If you\u2019re considering becoming a Health Coach<\/span>, first of all, welcome! We\u2019re so glad you found your way to HCI! Our school is honored to have trained thousands of healers, helpers, and health enthusiasts around the world in the art, science, and business of Health Coaching<\/span> so they can create the career of their dreams helping others thrive in health and wellness.<\/p>\n

13 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Health Coach<\/h2>\n

Second, we want to share 13 things we WISH someone had told us when we were getting started as Health Coaches<\/span> all those years ago. We hope they\u2019ll give you the information and inspiration you need to take a courageous leap into the best career ever!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Health Coaching profession will change your life in profound and unexpected ways.<\/strong>
    One thing many of our graduates are pleasantly surprised to discover is that in becoming a Health Coach<\/span>, they embark on an empowering journey of self-discovery and personal growth\u2014and they use the knowledge they gain to develop personal habits and practices to improve their health. Health Coaching<\/span> will give you the tools, confidence, and self-awareness to help others live their best lives and to live YOUR best life too.

    <\/li>\n
  2. You\u2019re never too old to start over. You Can Become a Coach at Any Age!<\/strong>
    If you\u2019ve ever thought, I\u2019d love to do this Health Coaching<\/span> thing…but I\u2019m afraid I\u2019m too old…we\u2019re here to tell you you\u2019re never too old to pursue your passion! Just take it from BHC grad Bobbi Smith, who stepped into her new coaching career at the young age of 78! Don\u2019t let the fear that you\u2019re too old stop you from doing anything that makes your heart come alive.

    <\/li>\n
  3. You don\u2019t have to be perfect to be a Health Coach<\/span>.<\/strong>
    Contrary to popular belief, you do NOT need to be 100% healthy, thin, or \u201call together\u201d to be a Health Coach<\/span>. If there are areas of your life that you feel are a bit messy (and who doesn\u2019t feel that way?!), then you need to know this: becoming a Health Coach<\/span> is not about being perfect…it\u2019s about being on the PATH. All you need to become a successful Health Coach<\/span> is the drive to be the most inspired version of yourself and to inspire others. And we\u2019ll let you in on a little secret: clients don\u2019t actually want a \u201cperfect\u201d coach. They want a human being who\u2019s relatable! That\u2019s what creates the trust and connection that makes for an amazing coaching experience.

    <\/li>\n
  4. You don\u2019t need a degree to be a successful coach.<\/strong>
    The beauty of Health Coaching<\/span> is that there are many paths you can take to launch a career. You don\u2019t have to have a degree in health sciences or even need to set foot in a traditional classroom. In fact, many coaches are opting for online certification for the convenience and flexibility these types of trainings provide. Some do opt for an academic degree program, while others opt for a program that drives them toward taking a national certification exam. Still others choose a state-licensed program. We encourage you to give some thought to your goals for your future career and to choose a training path that aligns with those goals.

    <\/li>\n
  5. You don\u2019t need an office. Coaching can offer you freedom to work anywhere!<\/strong>
    Health Coaches<\/span> are making a living all over the world working with clients in creative ways that suit them and the way they work best. For some, that may be an office. For others, it may be a backyard, a beach, or a park bench. The bottom line is: it\u2019s completely up to you what type of work environment you choose to work in. If you have a phone and a WiFi connection, you can work pretty much anywhere. (Bali, anyone?)

    <\/li>\n
  6. Coaches don\u2019t need to know all the answers.<\/strong>
    Another common misconception is that Health Coaches<\/span> are problem-solvers who advise their clients on what to do. In actuality, Health Coaches<\/span> get to know their clients intimately by listening intently to their challenges and asking illuminating questions. It isn\u2019t a Health Coach\u2019s job to give answers. At HCI, we hold the premise that the client already holds the answers. A Health Coach<\/span>\u2019s job is to ask the right questions that empower the clients to bring those answers to light.

    <\/li>\n
  7. You need solid business training just as much as you need coaching training.<\/strong>
    While it is, of course, important to learn how to coach clients in a way that will help them make needed change and get the results they desire, it\u2019s equally important to get schooled in current business and marketing practices. You might be the best-trained coach in the world, but if you don\u2019t know how to market your services, attract clients, close deals, or run a business…you won\u2019t thrive. Plain and simple. So before you select a training program, be sure to confirm that it covers all the bases so you\u2019re completely prepared to hit the ground running once you graduate.

    <\/li>\n
  8. You can create nearly any career you can dream up.<\/strong>
    Health Coaches<\/span> are increasingly in demand among consumers, businesses, schools, and other institutions. Beyond traditional one-on-one coaching, there are many growing career opportunities for Health Coaches<\/span> to put their expertise to good use. They can work in corporate wellness, author books, lead workshops, work in health advocacy, become health bloggers, train other coaches, lead group coaching programs<\/a>, work in gyms, chiropractic\u00a0offices, and Functional Medicine practices, to name just a few.

    <\/li>\n
  9. You are the only thing standing in the way of your success.<\/strong>
    What do we mean by this? We mean that there\u2019s no limit to the success you can create as a Health Coach<\/span> if you jump in with your whole heart. Mindset is everything. Stepping out of your comfort zone is where the magic happens. Fear is the only thing that will limit your success. So, be the biggest champion for yourself there ever was! Manifest the success you desire!

    <\/li>\n
  10. You don\u2019t have to be a nutritionist to be a good health coach.<\/span><\/strong>
    Not only do you not need to be a nutritionist<\/span>, this is actually not the biggest area of opportunity for Health Coaches<\/span> to effect change with clients. Yes, having a solid understanding of nutrition<\/span> is important. But simply giving your clients nutrition information won\u2019t work if your clients don\u2019t do anything with it. That\u2019s why at HCI, we train our coaches to become Masters of Habit Change\u2122. The key to real transformation lies in helping clients break destructive and unhealthy behaviors, and teaching them how to replace them with healthy habits that serve them for life. As a Health Coach<\/span>, you\u2019ll help clients create new thought patterns and behaviors and work with them over time until they become automated. So, you see, to be a truly effective coach, you don\u2019t need advanced nutrition knowledge, you need to understand the art and science behind habit change.

    <\/li>\n
  11. Coaches are revolutionizing healthcare.<\/strong>
    Health Coaches<\/span> are at the forefront of a massive paradigm shift in the way we approach healthcare. In fact, we believe they are the FUTURE of healthcare. Health Coaches<\/span> are helping to shift the current medical model from reactive to preventive, and creating a movement around habit change and healthy lifestyle design. As a Health Coach<\/span>, you won\u2019t just be helping your clients improve their health, you\u2019ll be helping elevate the consciousness of the planet and reverse the global crisis of chronic disease. Pretty amazing, if you ask us!

    <\/li>\n
  12. You\u2019ll be part of a global, heart-centered community.<\/strong>
    Wanna know one of the things we love MOST about our job? It\u2019s the fact that we\u2019re part of a passionate tribe of like-minded individuals who share a bigger-than-us mission to create positive change in the world. As a Health Coach<\/span>, you\u2019ll be part of that global community of changemakers\u2014a community that inspires, stretches, and uplifts one another to be their best and to help their clients be their best.

    <\/li>\n
  13. Good coaches never stop learning.\u00a0<\/strong>
    As a Health Coach<\/span>, you\u2019ll always be in a learning mindset. The best coaches make it a point to be students first. They invest in training, networking, and mentorship, and they\u2019re always current on the latest research and industry updates. They know that their capacity to help their clients and enjoy career success can always be expanded. They seek to constantly evolve and grow, both professionally and personally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And there you have it! Thirteen things to know if you\u2019re thinking of becoming a Health Coach<\/span>. Did any of them surprise you?<\/p>\n

And we\u2019ll let you in on a little secret: clients don\u2019t actually want a \u201cperfect\u201d coach. They want a human being who\u2019s relatable! That\u2019s what creates the trust and connection that makes for an amazing coaching experience.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>You don\u2019t need a degree to be a successful coach.<\/strong><br \/>The beauty of <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-2l0fnic55by2m3631uq94pfwnz65ruog\" class=\"textannotation wl-link disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\">Health Coaching<\/span> is that there are many paths you can take to launch a career. You don\u2019t have to have a degree in health sciences or even need to set foot in a traditional classroom. In fact, many coaches are opting for online certification for the convenience and flexibility these types of trainings provide. Some do opt for an academic degree program, while others opt for a program that drives them toward taking a national certification exam. Still others choose a state-licensed program. We encourage you to give some thought to your goals for your future career and to choose a training path that aligns with those goals.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>You don\u2019t need an office. Coaching can offer you freedom to work anywhere!<\/strong><span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-mcvcat3st0gylj21nflpafpsfqwbv4bz\" class=\"textannotation wl-link disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\"><br \/>Health Coaches<\/span> are making a living all over the world working with clients in creative ways that suit them and the way they work best. For some, that may be an office. For others, it may be a backyard, a beach, or a park bench. The bottom line is: it\u2019s completely up to you what type of work environment you choose to work in. If you have a phone and a WiFi connection, you can work pretty much anywhere. (Bali, anyone?)<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>Coaches don\u2019t need to know all the answers.<\/strong><br \/>Another common misconception is that <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-qsgysmanexa84xuu4ubnyses8n6d4e6t\" class=\"textannotation wl-link disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\">Health Coaches<\/span> are problem-solvers who advise their clients on what to do. In actuality, <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-5gsud1epd0ckt5h88o6k8w5q3xywldvi\" class=\"textannotation wl-link disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\">Health Coaches<\/span> get to know their clients intimately by listening intently to their challenges and asking illuminating questions. It isn\u2019t a Health Coach\u2019s job to give answers. At HCI, we hold the premise that the client already holds the answers. A <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-wrcutojqni1zl71motb3jakmewi1jgho\" class=\"textannotation wl-link disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\">Health Coach<\/span>\u2019s job is to ask the right questions that empower the clients to bring those answers to light.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>You need solid business training just as much as you need coaching training.<\/strong><br \/>While it is, of course, important to learn how to coach clients in a way that will help them make needed change and get the results they desire, it\u2019s equally important to get schooled in current business and marketing practices. You might be the best-trained coach in the world, but if you don\u2019t know how to market your services, attract clients, close deals, or run a business...you won\u2019t thrive. Plain and simple. So before you select a training program, be sure to confirm that it covers all the bases so you\u2019re completely prepared to hit the ground running once you graduate.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>You can create nearly any career you can dream up.<\/strong><span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-gyzeqnfe6gtpa5rpgrar9mk5mfobty0c\" class=\"textannotation wl-link disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\"><br \/>Health Coaches<\/span> are increasingly in demand among consumers, businesses, schools, and other institutions.

But simply giving your clients nutrition information won\u2019t work if your clients don\u2019t do anything with it. That\u2019s why at HCI, we train our coaches to become Masters of Habit Change\u2122. The key to real transformation lies in helping clients break destructive and unhealthy behaviors, and teaching them how to replace them with healthy habits that serve them for life.
