One of the most important things for me, is to BE HELPFUL
Hence, spending nearly 10 years in education and practicing/working in industry for over 20 years, and starting in my 20's and becoming what I am now! Thus, helping all kinds of people with food conditions; intolerances, especially in the realms of weight-loss and in many other capacities.
"There's very little to almost no validity in the concept that exercise helps you lose weight... When I say, almost no validity" I am referring to the many credible tests on willing participants for this to be proven and resulted in only a small percentage that this only works for, that's it, Sorry people! I am also talking with reference to my own experiences. Allow me to elaborate. Many of my clients when I first began working as a Personal Trainer would ask for guidance and specifically would ask for 'Weightloss' and direction and instruction given by me. I would see many work and plenty would work their arses off only to no avail. Allow me to continue by saying exercise for 'weightloss' for most is a non-starter However, 'exercise' is important and comes with so many important benefits for your health. If you want to lose weight think about how you live and your diet because only then will you start to see the results you are after."
Through conversation, I can understand the person I'm speaking to, and they can judge my capabilities and motivations.
If I don’t understand the person, or they find me “iffy” in some way they can’t put their finger on. This person will not trust me as their adviser, no matter how neatly my follow up structure is organized and delivered.
Don’t misunderstand me, reminders and process are important, but not the ❤of what I do.
The core of that ❤is:
- Genuine desire to help
- Trust & Faith that if I help enough people, a good proportion will want to help me
I’m looking forward to helping as many people as possible, and slowly building the list of people I can proudly think of as "amazing human beings that I am helping into the future"
