What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing as a successful coach, in my view, is empathy towards my clients. Understanding their motivations for seeking coaching, we collaborate to craft the best version of themselves. Building confidence and knowledge about their own bodies, my coaching approach fosters a deeper connection, empowering individuals to feel in control of their fitness journey.
Sean M. Hogan
In 2017, after a 2 year struggle, the bomb finally dropped, lost it all, went through a terrible divorce, cooked a career and went from high life to my oldest son offering $86.00 from his piggie bank to purchase groceries one week. ENOUGH we said!
I went back to school, became a Nutritionist, completed 4 national/international personal training and movement certifications, borrowed funds to hire a top coaching service, lost 65lbs in 100 days and built now the top google rated physique transformations business’s in our region. We’re now in 11 countries and this time, I know what I’m fighting for.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
There is an incredible amount of mis-information surrounding gut health, nutrition and fat loss or muscle growth. We start with the route cause.. Mindset. Non-negotiable daily routines, goal association, accountability sessions and we have the tough conversations. Generic diets just don’t work, so we build and test every single plan with each individuals gut health t find the problem. Every client completes a mindset session to find the “pain”
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Radical transparency, relenting honesty and an inability to quit on humans, especially when they’re quitting on themselves. 2 steps forward and one back. If we’re unable to address our mistakes, how might we grow? It’s ok to fall, we just make sure to get back up.
