In today’s episode, host Michael Cazayoux interviews Ivette Carcas, the Training Director for Working Against Gravity. Ivette joined WAG as a client in 2014 and began working with Adee as her coach (Adee is still her coach to this day!). Before that, Ivette trained as a ballet dancer for 27 years (she’s since switched to flamenco). She worked as an architect and has her first Master’s degree in architecture. She’s also a competitive Olympic weightlifter. For years, Ivette sought a way to work in the nutrition world. So, when Adee offered her a job with WAG, Ivette jumped at the chance. Since then, Ivette has become WAG’s top coach. She’s in charge of the creation and operation of our WAG Coach Certification. In this interview, Michael and Ivette talk about the WAG Certification, including how it offers students something that no other nutrition certification offers: digital mentorship.  Certification students get hands-on feedback and support during their completion of the certification and also after graduation. Listen in to hear Ivette outline the most important skills required to be an excellent nutrition coach.  Topics:  01:10 – The #1 thing people love about the coach certification: digital mentorship 02:00 – How WAG helps coaches truly improve vs. just giving them information 02:59 – Ivette’s career in dance 03:40 – How ballet impacted Ivette’s eating habits 05:10 – Discovering CrossFit and weightlifting – and WAG!  06:40 – Ivette’s career in architecture (but wanting to work in nutrition)  08:30 – Getting her nutrition master’s degree but finding more value in hands-on training 09:22 – How has WAG succeeded with many similar companies in existence? 12:17 – To be a great coach, you must be coachable  13:00 – Outlining the process to become a WAG Coach and the WAG Certification 13:30 – Description of the six phases of the WAG Certification 15:25 – Becoming a substitute coach after completing the Certification 19:00 – Most common mistakes Ivette sees in sample client check-ins 24:46 – Skills needed to be an excellent coach  31:48 – How to give feedback that leads to behavior change  37:29 – Overcoming a lack of confidence in your ability to coach nutrition 39:20 – Hawthorne Effect (knowing someone is watching us improves productivity)  44:26 – How WAG keeps coaches and students at the cutting edge of science  Links:  Working Against Gravity Coach Certification

To learn more, go to www.workingagainstgravity.com/coach-certification and join our presale list today! During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have had to adjust to working from home. It’s very different from working in an in-person, office type of setting. While working from home, it’s essential to remain productive and focused. But—what if your kids are there? What if your spouse is there? All the chores you could be doing are there, too. There are many opportunities for you to be less productive due to the lack of boundaries between work and home. At the same time, if you can learn how to be productive while working from home, it provides massive flexibility in time and location—you can work from anywhere with WiFi! Additionally, as more businesses move online, it’s wise to be prepared for this trend to continue. In this episode of the podcast, Adee and Michael share tips and advice for successfully working from home (including what hasn’t worked well!). They’ll teach you how to create a healthy balance between work and the rest of your life while working from home. Topics:  2:35 – Why it’s important to learn how to effectively work from home 7:07 – How Adee &amp; Michael worked when they first started online businesses 10:09 – The difference between staying “busy” and being productive 11:24 – Adee read “The Perfect Day Formula” and changed habits 13:50 – Create time boundaries 16:42 – Setting rules for the structure of your week (meetings on certain days) 19:39 – Set up your workspace  21:58 – Take breaks  24:35 – Consider how you start and finish your day   Links:   The Perfect Day Formula by Craig Ballantyne  When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing  by Daniel Pink

One of the most frequent questions we heard was: can you actually make money as a nutrition coach? In today’s episode, Adee and Michael will dispel myths about making money as an online nutrition coach. Adee launched Working Against Gravity eight years ago, and now with 35 employees, she can assure you — it is absolutely possible to make this a sustainable career. Not only do they break down the actual math of how much money a nutrition coach can make per client and per year, but they offer actionable steps you can take today to inch toward your dream career without taking huge risks. Remember, the WAG Coach Certification offers a low-stakes way to find out whether you can see yourself working with nutrition coaching clients – you’ll practice creating programs and working with clients, and you’ll get feedback from a coach mentor. We would love to hear from you!

Can You Actually Make Money as a Nutrition Coach?

Let’s talk about accountability. We all know it’s a powerful tool. It can come in many forms: a coach, a group, a mentor, an accountabili-buddy. At WAG, we have a “nutrition pyramid”, and the bottom of the pyramid (i.e. the most important part) is consistency. Accountability is critical in helping us remain consistent. If we know we have to check in with someone on a regular basis, our focus and performance will improve. In our latest episode of the podcast, Adee and Michael explain why accountability is so critical for achieving your goals (including the psychology behind it). They also outline action steps you can take today to find sources of accountability.
