Coaching Why That Matters Most To Nurses

The Journey From Nurse To Health Coach

Low end welcome nursing and coaching community. I'm so excited that you guys are tuning into this episode. Today. We are on the journey from nurse to health coach, and I am Dr. Krista Ryan and I am your host as well as your fellow. Journeyer so thank you for tuning into this episode. We are going to be talking about.

Coaching why that matters, where to begin with coaching and what we want to see you. What I would like to see for you is that coaching becomes automatic, just like you're driving down the road. And when you have driven for a really long time, everything's automatic, you're turning, you're moving around.

You're able to talk to your friend. You're able to actually think about other things other than driving. And guys, I want your practice to become automatic, just like that. When. Things are automatic. You're able to do things so that you can look externally outside of the business and actually, um, increase your business in small ways in order to achieve a lasting impact for you and your client.

And you can only do that. If these skills become automatic and they can become automatic without repetition. And we did talk about that in our last episode. So make sure that this podcast. You repeat it over and over again because, um, knowing this stuff internally makes you that automatic driver and you are the driver of your own career success when it comes to health coaching.

So we are so excited though, because we have the opportunity to come alongside of you. If you need some help, or if you have any questions or need support, we are live within our Facebook community on Thursdays at 11 to 12 Eastern standard time. And you can come with your questions and come knowing that there is a community out there that can support you in your health coaching career.

Guys, I wanted to talk to nurses. About health coaching, because you have a body basics foundation, you understand the body basics. And so because you have that inherent understanding, you're able to actually help people in a way that other people don't have as a coach. Um, just like if you got into coaching, gymnastics, whatever you've done in your past, you're able to actually help them through like nutrition or exercise.

So as a kinesiologist, I'm able to actually. Uh, kinesiology is the study of movement in the human body. I'm able to actually make small changes in the way that they move and know that that's making your muscles more efficient. And as a nurse, you're able to make your clients. Um, more efficient through their healthcare habits.

Now, a coach, what does a coach do? Exactly? A coach comes along beside a person, gives them the confidence and the accountability to stick to their goal or do their desired outcome. Guys. A coach is that map. So, um, people are on a journey to being healthier tour than they ever are today. And they have to take steps towards their destination.

And you are, you are the. That shows them how to go from a, to B. Now, when people aren't taking consistent, um, consistent steps forward and creating change in their lives, then they can never reach the destination that they might desire. So as a coach, you come buy and hold. Them accountable to the outcome that they might achieve that does not mean you have to beat them over the head.

In fact, you don't have to do a ton of things with them. You don't have to give them 15 million things in order for them to achieve success. You have to show them this tiny baby steps that needs to happen to create change in their life. And that's not necessarily with diet and exercise all the time. Um, if you listen to our later episodes, we get into.

What are the foundation principles within a body that, that moving one thing helps move the body as a whole. And just like, just like, if I shift the steering in my car, my whole car goes in the one direction. You don't have to have all these things that are actually going to, um, you don't have to know a ton about diet.

You don't have to know a ton about exercise. But if you know a ton about one thing, that one thing can create change and can ultimately change the destination for you and your clients. So guys, this is exciting, exciting stuff, and I'm so excited that you guys are tuning in and I'm so excited that this.

This is journey gives you the opportunity to have freedom in your life. It gives you the opportunity to connect with your kids in a different way. What I struggled in business with was, was I struggled with feeling like. My business, wasn't everything to me that I was able to have a balanced life. I was able to actually have my business on automatic pilot while I connected with my patients as well.

I became the woman I need to be for my husband. And while I had the time that I needed in order to devote to self care. And you have the opportunity to now changing from being a, um, A nurse into health coach. This is going to give you some time freedom. It's going to give you freedom to connect with your family.

It's going to give you the choices that basically choice it's going to give you free. Well, you get to decide what you work on every day when you get up and isn't that exciting and thrilling process, you don't have to say, oh, I'm going to the hospital again. You don't have to feel the wear and tear that happens on your body because you're using your body as a tool.

You're going to be able to use your mind. And your voice as a tool instead, and that is higher level. It is, it is amazing. And it's what we all want within our lives. So guys live with passion and tune into the next episodes.
