Ep 109. Why Getting Certified Didn't Make Me a Great Nutrition Coach

Why Getting Certified Didn't Make Me a Great Coach You passed the exam. You got the certification. So why do so many coaches still feel unprepared when a real client needs help?   In this episode, Eve shares the uncomfortable truth that most coaches discover after certification: credentials don't automatically create confidence. While certifications teach information, they rarely teach decision-making, pattern recognition, or how to navigate real-world client situations when the textbook answer doesn't work.   Drawing from her own journey of losing 150 pounds, leaving a stable laboratory management career, and building a six-figure coaching business, Eve breaks down the difference between being certified and becoming an expert coach.   In This Episode:  Why certifications often leave coaches feeling unprepared  The biggest misconception about confidence in coaching  The difference between information, application, and judgment  Why collecting more certifications won't solve imposter syndrome  The three skills most certifications don't teach  How real coaching confidence is actually built  The role of reps, feedback, and experience in becoming an expert coach  Why competence always comes before confidence   Resources Mentioned  Macro Mentorship Coaching Certification  https://www.themacrouniversity.com/   Macros Made Simple for Coaches: The No-Fluff Starter Guide for Coaches: www.themacrouniversity.com/macros-made-simple-for-coaches   Connect with Eve https://www.instagram.com/eveguzmanofficial/
