How often do you compare yourself to others?

Whether it's your body or your business, you probably compare way more than you think.

And how does that make you feel about yourself?

Whilst comparisons can be inspiration, more often than not we use comparative information to judge ourselves and put ourselves down.

This just erodes our self confidence.

You can't just simply stop comparing yourself to others, but you can learn how to manage your mind and stop letting comparisons get you down.

To compare less and build your self confidence, get on the waitlist for Crushing Comparisons launching Jan 1st!

Clients struggling to stay motivated?

Probably because they are driven by low quality motivation, like a desire to change their appearance.

Our role as coaches it to help our clients develop stronger forms of motivation that can be inclusive of, but are ultimately broader than, a drive to look better.

But how do we do that?

Well, that's what I have Chris Bell on the show to discuss.

Chris is a Doctoral Researcher at Brunel looking at the effects of fitness social media on body image and exercise motivation. In addition, he has a decade of experience working with clients in Personal Training and Nutrition and lifestyle consultancy.

In this episode we draw upon Self Determination Theory and unconditional self acceptance to find better ways to help our clients.

'A client wants to lose weight desperately as she thinks this is holding her back from the life she wants. She has poor body image and often overeats. I cant seem to get through to her, that our priority should be working on body image not dieting, at least for now. She feels like she needs quick results. How would you approach this, Shannon? Thank you!'

I walk you through my RENEW process for having difficult conversations and helping clients see things from a different angle.

Many men are under pressure to not only look perfectly muscular and lean, but also to be successful providers and business men. What began as a conversation about masculine norms, and Dan's personal journey with health, fitness and body image, turned into a conversation around pressures in the fitness industry and implications for coaching.

Dan is health and wellbeing coach, and passionate mental health advocate. He has worked in the health and fitness industry for 18 years, with a wealth of experience as a personal trainer, strength coach and performance nutritionist.
