Just wanted to share an experience we just had with a client, who, unfortunately, as good as we think we are, we cannot make everyone love themselves enough to choose happy and healthy. Being a life coach, I always try to help others to see the opportunity, not the problem or the mistake. Since this client stated, "Having accounts will all major review channels (Google, Yelp, etc.), I'm very familiar with their process." I see this as an opportunity to address each of these issues and illuminate every one of his concerns. Please find below how I would like to turn his lemons into lemonade. He writes: "Why Weight is an intense program known as the HCG diet that is designed for rapid weight loss based on low daily calorie intake. Note that the FDA strongly cautions against it." While the eating protocols are similar to those from Dr. Simeon who wrote the HCG diet, adding a hormone into your diet is not something we believe in. Our program is all natural with absolutely no drugs. He then went on to write, " Eliot and Clare bill themselves as "coaches" but in reality they are more like consultants." Here's the truth of it, Eliot and Claire are both ICF certified coaches. A consultants job is to consult, a coaches job is to meet his team on the field. This client was in contact every single day for 10 days and he lost 10 pounds. He went from 217.1 lbs. to 207 lbs. "I was on the program for two weeks and they didn't once call to see how I was faring which is surprising due to the aggressive nature of the program. In essence they weighed me, gave me a bag of goodies, and I was on my own." It would be difficult for me to know of his progress had we not been connected. The reason we know his numbers is because I texted him back every single day. "When I called them out on it, their response in effect was that they expected me to define the relationship and not the other way around." Had he asked for any extra support besides the morning text and the afternoon 3 pm text, we would have met him where he was. "In my mind, that's not the way coaching works. Just make sure you understand what you are getting before you sign up and make sure the expectations are well-defined." As coaches we help empower people to live at the cause of their lives rather than the effect. At the end of a successful journey , which many clients have (see reviews below), our clients feel empowered and are able to make conscious choices. read more
