\u201cYou\u2019re going to be a what?\u201d
\nThis is often the reaction new coaches get from family and friends when they announce they\u2019re pursuing a Health Coaching career<\/span>.
\nBut instead of feeling worried about what those close to you will think and say, you should feel excited!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why:
\nYou have a terrific opportunity to educate the loved ones in your life all about the life-changing benefits of working with a Health Coach<\/span> and the meaningful difference you\u2019re going to make in others\u2019 lives. You also have an amazing opportunity to expand your client network through the power of word of mouth.<\/p>\n

Not sure where to begin? Here are some helpful pointers for sharing your new career path with the ones who are near and dear to you.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what a Health Coach does\u2026.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Your family and friends may not be very familiar with Health Coaching<\/span> in general, so they may not really understand what a Health Coach<\/span> actually does. Here\u2019s your chance to talk to them and explain the role of a Health Coach<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Start out by telling them that, simply put, Health Coaches<\/span> work with people to empower them to make positive and lasting changes in their lives. You\u2019re an educated guide, not someone who tells a person what to do. Rather, you help them figure out what they need to do to be healthy and whole\u2014and how to do it!<\/p>\n

A few key points you might want to make:
\nI\u2019m trained to empower people to achieve their health and wellness goals.<\/strong> I received specialized training under successful six-figure Health Coaches<\/span> in how to help others master healthy habits that serve them for life through the power of habit change.<\/p>\n

I focus on the big picture.<\/strong> As a Health Coach<\/span>, my goal isn\u2019t around offering \u201cquick fixes.\u201d I help my clients take stock of their lives, set goals, and then develop a plan for achieving those goals over time that is sustainable over the long haul.<\/p>\n

I help make a real difference in the world.<\/strong> Now\u2019s your chance to use your storytelling skills! Talk about the ways that people often need guidance to make healthier choices in life. Give an example from your own life about a challenge that you\u2019ve confronted and overcome. Then share how you, as a Health Coach<\/span>, can be a guide to another person who may be struggling.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re talking about the role of a Health Coach<\/span>, try not to use any jargon or job-specific language that might be confusing. You can also point them to your coaching website and your social media channels to help them get a better sense of what you do, how you work with others, and how you talk about your services to clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why I\u2019m super excited about Health Coaching…\u201d<\/h3>\n

By now, your loved ones will probably have caught on that you\u2019re enthusiastic about your career choice. Let them know that it\u2019s a great career path, with numerous benefits that really speak to you.<\/p>\n

You can share some of the best reasons that you\u2019re so enthusiastic about your Health Coaching career<\/span>, like the fact that:<\/p>\n

Health Coaching<\/span> changes lives.<\/strong> Health Coaches<\/span> are revolutionizing healthcare by helping people take a preventive approach to health, partnering with clients to customize a plan to achieve their goals, and providing the support and accountability that are critical to making changes that last.<\/p>\n

Health Coaching is a career<\/span> with unlimited potential.<\/strong> There are about a zillion different opportunities available right now Health Coaches<\/span>! (Okay, so maybe \u201ca zillion\u201d is a slight exaggeration, but seriously, there are so many great avenues for Health Coaching jobs<\/a> these days. You can set up your own solo practice and see clients in person or virtually. Or you can work with a physician\u2019s practice, a gym, a corporate wellness company, or a growing number of other places. It\u2019s a very flexible career with unlimited potential for growth. (So, yes, Mom, don\u2019t worry; your darling child will definitely be able to find a job as a Health Coach<\/span>!)
\nHealth Coaching<\/span> is meaningful for everyone involved.<\/strong> Let your loved ones know that it\u2019s truly an honor to be a part of someone\u2019s journey to wellness. As you witness a client rediscovering their purpose and their passion, you\u2019re reminded daily that what you do matters and inspired to lead by example and become the healthiest you can be!<\/p>\n

Health Coaching<\/span> offers unparalleled freedom and flexibility.<\/strong> Health Coaching<\/span> is a truly flexible career that gives you the freedom to create the life of your dreams. You can set your own hours, work from anywhere in the world, choose your clients, and determine the best work\/life balance for you, your family, your budget, and your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Health Coaches<\/span> have a network to rely on.<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to go it alone. Reassure your loved ones that as an HCI alumnus, you have a network of other Health Coaches<\/span> to call upon for advice and suggestions should you need to.<\/p>\n

A Health Coaching job<\/span> can be satisfying on so many levels. It\u2019s really easy to get excited about that!<\/p>\n

\u201cSure, I\u2019m happy to answer your questions about Health Coaching!\u201d<\/h4>\n

With all this new knowledge that you\u2019ve imparted to them, your family and friends will undoubtedly have questions for you. And that\u2019s a good thing! It means they\u2019re interested and they care enough about you to care about your career choice. Plus, it gives you the chance to keep talking about Health Coaching<\/span> and why you\u2019re so passionate about it!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll probably still have to field a few questions from time to time or explain some aspect of your job again. You may have to address a few misconceptions every once in a while, too. Keeping the avenues of communication open is a useful way to both teach people about your career choice and suggest that a Health Coach<\/span> might be able to help them, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you spread the word?\u201d<\/h5>\n

Now that your friends and family know what you do as a Health Coach<\/span>, they can be your best ambassadors. With the information you\u2019ve given them, they can casually spread the word about your ability to help others transform their health and wellness.<\/p>\n

Say, for instance, your parents\u2019 neighbor asks what you\u2019re up to these days. Your parents can mention that you\u2019re enjoying your career as a Health Coach<\/span>. You never know\u2014your neighbor might be struggling with a health issue you\u2019d be perfectly equipped to help them address. This revelation about your newfound career path could actually turn into a larger client roster for you.<\/p>\n

Another potential benefit of sharing what you do with others? You might just inspire someone else to explore Health Coaching as a career<\/span> choice as well! Did you know that when you refer someone you know to HCI and they enroll in BHC, we\u2019ll pay you $300? There\u2019s no limit to the number of friends you can enroll and they\u2019ll even get a discount off their tuition because they came through you!

You\u2019ve discovered a career that really speaks to you\u2014one where you\u2019re not only making a living, but making a significant impact on the world! As a Health Coach<\/span>, you\u2019ve found the avenue for helping people make the right changes for living a healthier life.
