Guest BIO:

Hi, my name is Alexandra, and ever since I was a little girl, I have been passionate about helping people to reconnect with their nature to understand that we all have the right to be happy and fulfilled. I believe that providing people with tools to explore themselves, gives them the power of healing that lies within us.

It is, therefore, no coincidence that my professional career has brought me into the deeper layers of self-awareness and self-discovery, whilst assisting others on their own path.

I’m a yoga teacher since 2002, an Ayurvedic Lifestyle consultant for 13 years and in 2016 my life changed 180 degrees when I became a Yoga Health Coach.

Influence, Impact, Income and Your Wellness Career

Cate Stillman — Wed, 29 May 2019 17:25:34 +0000

Wellness pros have a bad habit. They often downplay the kind of impact they can have and end up justifying a lower income. In her conversations with wellness pros, Grace Edison has noticed a “stickiness” around income. All too often, she hears, “It’s not about that.” They’re gifted at what they’re doing, but without the proper business model, packaging, and pricing, they’re not able to have the impact they want to have or the income they deserve. In this episode, Cate and Grace dissect the relationship between earning and having an impact.

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

How the right business model, packaging and pricing can help you have the impact you want and the income you deserve.
How to reframe your mentality around “sales” and realize that it comes down to helping people make better decisions about how to invest their money.
How working with groups of people, as opposed to one-on-one, can amplify your impact.

Show Highlights:

The wellness industry is growing. More and more people every year invest in wellness. As wellness pros, we can help people make better decisions about how to invest their money in this diverse market.
Cate talks about how working with key “VIP” clients helped her fund projects with a bigger reach and a bigger impact.
Cate and Grace discuss the power of working with groups of people. Once you know how many people you can support in a group, you can design an offer that aligns with your income goals.

Favorite Quotes:

“There are more and more people investing in wellness of all socioeconomic categories. We are in a huge, growing industry.” — Cate Stillman
“There are so many people who are so gifted at what they’re doing, but they don’t have the proper business model.” — Grace Edison
“Most people don’t realize where they’re not investing well in themselves and where they’re making decisions that are costing them a lot more money.” — Cate Stillman

Ripping Off the Band-Aid: The only way to get ready to coach is to coach

Carly Banks — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 20:57:04 +0000

In this Changemaker Challenge conversation, Carly Banks sits down with Alison Miller to discuss “ripping off the Band-Aid” – coaching when you’re not sure you’re ready to coach.

Coaching before being fully certified is one of the most valuable aspects of the Yoga Health Coaching course. With the support and guidance of Cate, our mentors, and other course members, we practice our skills and gain proficiency while we train. We emerge ready to coach and support our own course members.

Alison Miller went through Yoga Health Coaching while working a demanding full time job with Special Olympics Michigan. Alison is enjoying her work as a yoga health coach so much that she has set a retirement date for her job with Special Olympics Michigan, a job she truly loves. In the meantime, she’s able to do both by staying focused and organized.

Alison is now in Q4 of YHC and has finished coaching her pilot program. She’s getting ready for her certification exam, and her advice to new YHC members is don’t procrastinate! Keep up with your assignments and keep your certification record up to date.

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

How Yoga Health Coaching prepares you for the meaningful, valuable, impactful work of health coaching
Why coaching is the only way to prepare for coaching
