3 Qualities of a Great Coach

Hi! I'm Jessica. I'm a Diamond Coach with Team Beachbody. There are many of us out there now. All pushing to the same goal of helping ending the trend of obesity while helping people live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. It sounds like a great mission statement...AND IT IS!!!

With so many of us out there you may wonder if this is still something you can do? Let me tell you right off...WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!!! With an obesity epidemic and more fast food options daily we have much work to do.

I will say though that not all coaches are equal. There are a lot of us and not all are cut from the same cloth. That being said I will tell you what make a a great Beachbody Coach.

#1 HEART
Others may disagree but I believe that heart is the NUMBER ONE quality of a great coach. You truly do have to want to help others. It can't be said enough that our income is a reflection of how many people we help. If you don't have heart you can't expect to help people. Heart is what we put into it. It's long nights and early mornings. It's dealing with tough situations. It's helping people through their struggles. Without heart you can't do that.

#2 Personal Growth
You HAVE to be willing to grow yourself. You have to always be engaging in personal development. If you think it's hooey then that's an attitude you have to change. All great coaches do personal development. Not all of them did in the beginning and it wasn't until they gave into it that they became great. They read. They go to conferences. They listen to podcasts. The fill their cups because when we are always pouring out we need to keep ourselves filled too.

#3 Realistic Expectations
It's great to dream. I have LOTS of big dreams. Some of them are pretty crazy. But dreams are different from expectations. Dreams can drive you and unrealistic expectations can diminish you. This is not a business where you're rolling in the big ones in a month or two. There are coaches that rise quickly through the ranks and to the top but they worked their butts off!!! They pull the all nighters. They know the hustle. The realistic expectation is that you work your butt off and you'll be rewarded for it. Don't expect to send a few messages and make a six figure income in six months. If you can be realistic about your efforts you can be a great coach!
