It's given a description and a nice CTA - I'll paste it here in case it is of use - I like the format. Do you worry that you're not going to be able to actually help clients? If you're a trained health coach who still doesn't feel ready, or if coaching sessions feel messy and you're left wondering, "Am I even good at this?"—this video is for you. Here's the truth: it's not that you're a bad coach. Most health coach training programs teach you a lot about holistic health and wellness, but they don't teach you HOW to coach. In this video, I break down exactly what's missing and why coaching feels so hard: ✅ Why your training gave you knowledge but not coaching skills ✅ The 3 things every confident coach needs (and most trainings don't provide) ✅ Why you're stuck in the chit-chat trap or overworking for clients ✅ The gap between knowing about health and knowing how to coach ✅ What actually builds coaching confidence (hint: it's not more studying) I'll share my own story of fumbling through my first two years as a health coach—spending hours on recap emails, buying gifts for clients, working out of scope, and completely exhausting myself trying to compensate for not knowing how to actually coach. Once I finally learned the coaching process, session structure, and got real practice, everything changed. The pressure was gone. I could handle any topic clients brought. And my clients were actually achieving their goals. If you're missing these three pieces—a clear coaching process, a session structure, and enough practice to build your skills—that's your gap. And once you see it clearly, you can start filling it. By the end of this video, you'll understand why you don't feel ready and what you actually need to feel confident and competent as a health coach. 00:00 Why you don’t feel ready to coach 01:35 My early coaching struggles and overgiving 03:58 Realizing what my training didn’t teach 04:48 The three missing pieces: process, structure, practice 06:57 How coaching changes with a clear framework 08:08 You are capable: identifying and closing your coaching gap READY TO FILL THE GAP?
