Future of Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC Executive Director Leigh-Ann Webster)

Did you know that in 2016, you and I could be visiting over a cup of coffee and decide we wanted to be health & wellness coaches... then walk out the door and start calling ourselves a health & wellness coach? Or – a wellness company could hire nice people, put them in a call center with a script and then tell employers they offered health & wellness coaching. There were no standards. That all changed in 2017.Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast - today’s guest is Leigh-Ann Webster, the Executive Director of the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching, or NBHWC, which brought standards of practice, a code of ethics and more to the world of health & wellness coaching. She is the only person in our 180 episode history to join us on 3 separate occasions. Yes – she – and the timely insights she has to share are that important.For more information about the Catalyst Community, earning your health & wellness coaching certification, the annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium and much more, please see https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ or reach out to us [email protected] more information about the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), please see NBHWC.org If you'd like to share the Be A Catalyst! message in your world with a cool hoodie, t-shirt, water bottle stickers and more (100% of ALL profits go to charity), please visit https://teespring.com/stores/be-a-catalyst If you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Forum Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.  This is an awesome group if you are looking for encouragement, ideas, resources and more! Finally, if you enjoy the Catalyst Podcast, you might also enjoy the YouTube Coaching Channel, which provides a full library of freely available videos covering health, wellness & performance: https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannelInfo re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.YouTube Coaching Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannelContact us: [email protected]: @Catalyst2ThriveWebsite: CatalystCoaching360.comIf you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.  This is a wonderful group if you are looking for encouragement, ideas, resources and more.
