@Kim Foster M.D. : Thank you for making and sharing this video.
You come across as a happy, positive and helpful person.
Also, that was nice of you to include a free wellness coaching career guide.


I have a few questions:

1) Would it be better to be a health coach, wellness coach or a health and wellness coach? And why?

2) What is the pro and cons of being a health and wellness coach?

3) How can a person go about starting their own freelance health and wellness business?

4) What areas of the health and wellness job pay the most?

I am an RN, BSN. Would I be able to meet my license current by becoming a nurse health coach? I have a huge passion for health and wellness but can’t seem to find the right outlet in nursing to follow that passion. Health coaching seems and feels like it would really fit me well and allow me to truly help people in their lives, which is what I want to do. Thanks!

How do you overcome a client that doesn't want to commit to the program? Who has goals but every few months is a new excuse?
How do you get others to take this lucrative career seriously?

[brittanys]

Hi! I am thinking about entering the field, but am trying to decide whether being a dietician or a health coach is right for me. What would you say is a reason to go into health coaching rather than becoming an RN?

[koryryan]

Would a personal training certification be a good compliment to being a health coach?

[delmarj.]

Differences between men and women mostly--- women talk a lot with very little information, men get right to the point. The introduction was unnecessarily long, MD or no MD.
