Widen Your Reach Through Corporate Wellness

When Niching Down Doesn’t Apply

Where to Start If You’re Considering Going Corporate

 

Marcy Morrison Notable Quotes

“Everyone listening who is a health coach already, you already have all the skills you need.”
– Marcy Morrison

“When you go [into a company]—it doesn’t matter if you’ve ever worked with a corporation before—a tiny bit of fake it ‘til you make it, but you’re doing health coaching. It’s really no different if you’re doing it for a small group at a corporation, one-on-one…but you want to create a few offers…so you give them a number of ways to work with you.”
– Marcy Morrison

 

Episode Summary

For a new health coach just starting out, we usually want to open up our doors big and wide and help as many people as we can—against the advice of many successful health coaches, who emphasize the importance of niching down. If we want to help out anyone and everyone, then starting up our own health coaching business might not be the way to go.

In this episode of Health Coach Academy, we’re talking to health coach, entrepreneur, and corporate wellness program specialist Marcy Morrison to share how she was able to help many different kinds of people she never thought she’d be able to work with through going into corporate wellness.
