Episode Summary
This week I sit down with my personal business coach, Lisa LeBlanc. Lisa is a wife, mother, and grandmother as well as a certified life coach and weight loss specialist with No BS Weightloss. I share how I naturally met Lisa, and how our coaching relationship evolved from personal weight loss to business.
Lisa shares how her entrepreneurship story started when she was a young wife and mom with three kids under five. Out of necessity, Lisa decided to start her own daycare business, but it wasn't long before her own kids were in school and she had a waitlist of parents and kids. After over twenty years in that business, Lisa had reached burnout and was ready for a change.
Lisa began to prioritize herself again and reflect on how she has always been coaching those around her through the years. She decided to invest in herself and get her life coach certification and become part of a coaching team at No BS Weightloss. Throughout this episode you will hear the coaching techniques Lisa uses with clients (and herself) to help them overcome their own negative thoughts. Lisa and I role-play two common scenarios Lisa runs into with new and existing clients, as a glimpse into what a coaching session with her looks like!
