Adjusting to life as a coach in a bustling U.S. city gym was nothing short of humbling. Challenges loomed large on the horizon, with the task of building a sustainable coaching business while staying true to my beliefs and moral compass. To add to the complexity, I was a single parent, navigating the delicate balance between work and family life. I learned early on that building a successful coaching career takes dedication, countless hours, and an unwavering work ethic. It’s a long game, one that demands staying true to oneself, doing the right things consistently, and never stopping the quest for knowledge. I realized that I had the power to change lives through coaching, one person at a time.
Enter the OPEX Coaching Certificate Program (CCP). I’ve pursued numerous certifications throughout my career, some excellent, but many recycling the same information with a different spin. CCP, however, was a game-changer. It armed me with invaluable tools to connect deeply with my clients. I learned to pause, listen intently, and truly understand the individual in front of me. This profound shift allowed me to become more efficient in program design and lifestyle recommendations because I gained a much deeper, human understanding of my clients’ goals, fears, and aspirations.
