How to Know If You're Not Ready for a Coach: Our Non-Ideal Clients


Listen Later

Alongside Tactic Nutrition Coach Lynsey Martin, Alex and Meredith get open and honest about their non-ideal clients. While many of the people who they work with at Tactic Nutrition are phenomenal, Nutrition and Fitness coaching involves lots of lifestyle choices and behavior habits that can be really emotionally sensitive for people. Plus, how do you personally know when you might be ready for a coach if nutrition and fitness are things that mean a lot to you? By the end of the episode, you'll have an answer as Alex, Meredith, and Lynsey delve into the challenges of working with bad clients — such as those who lack communication, think they know it all, dodge accountability, or lie. Ultimately, it's important to remember that there is no failure, only learning, for both clients and coaches!
