The biggest personal nutrition coach pitfall is neglecting the inner game. Many nutrition coaches focus so much on strategy and information that they never fully enroll their clients in the coaching process. How do you become a coach who gets their clients to become totally dedicated to their personal health and nutrition?
Inner Game Secrets the Average Personal Nutrition Coach Misses

The first inner game tactic a personal nutrition coach must use to motivate their clients to achieve success is to find out why they want to make changes in their lives. Go deep and leave no stone uncovered. You must uncover the massive pain that will happen if they don’t change, and the massive pleasure they hope to experience if they do change. Don’t let your clients get off easy on this one. If it wasn’t important, they would not be investing money to hire a personal nutrition coach. Once you have this information, help your clients to be able to clearly identify why it is crucial for them to make the changes in their lives now.
Next you need to help your clients surround themselves with an empowering peer group. Find others who can be supportive to the changes that they want to make in their lives. Many coaches feel they can do it alone. In reality the more people you can enroll to help your clients; the more successful they will be. Don’t let your own drive for significance hold you back from helping your clients get maximal results.
Enroll Your Clients in the Process For a Lifetime

Diets don’t work because people get the results and go back to their usual lifestyle. Make sure your clients are committed to making life style changes, and that these changes are sustainable over time. Incorporate strategies for falling off the wagon, vacations, dining out, and family gatherings that will help them feel successful and empowered to stay the course.
