The Monday Report
April 17,2023| We tell our clients to start living outside their comfort zones, and often don't adhere to that statement ourselves. Learn something new, be a beginner again. You'll be a better coach.

Personal Update
So, My podcast episode with Beverly Simson on the PT Profit podcast came out this past Thursday. Talk about getting a morning slap in the face with that imposter syndrome feeling! Here I am on my 3rd podcast interview ever, and millions of people could possibly hear me talk about coaching and communication. After the initial minor panic of how I’m not in control of this show being listened to, I reminded myself; I want to be in this position, I want to be on more shows, I want to speak more, I want to rely on myself more, I want to share how I coach more, I want to champion continuing education more, I want to coach more people, and I want to spread FITLETE further. Only then I was able to put the overly self-critical magnifying glass down, settle in and embrace all of the positives this episode can bring to my future because while this was only my 3rd ever interview it won’t be my last.
Fantastic Podcast(s) I listened to last week
PT Profit Podcast: April 13th Episode: The fastest way to help you get your clients moving and adhering to the program with George Pagan III
Show Notes: In this podcast episode, George Pagan III, a personal trainer from Miami, shares his experiences in sports, networking, and the world of continuing education. He speaks about how he helps entrepreneurs and small business owners achieve their fitness goals. He also discusses how he uses the Miami weather to encourage clients to go for walks and explore the city's parks and bridges. George shares valuable insights on how coaches should connect with clients and listen to them before correcting any mistakes.
My Notes: This is my 3rd podcast. I want to be doing more podcasts for various reasons, but mostly because it helps me get exposed to new people talking about things they enjoy. This show was a nice casually framed episode that spoke a lot about communication, engagement with your clients, and how it’s important to treat new clients like actual human beings trying to improve themselves rather than “fixer-upper projects”. There are some pretty interesting talking points in the show that I will be taking some time on and giving more structured answers to.

There will be a lot of changes in the coming weeks. Some are scary and some seem so simple you will question why they weren’t done sooner.
