Sorry I can’t ’Just Let Them’ when it comes to my job.
This is my pet peeve. When somebody tells me they are going to do something, I expect them to do it. My job as a coach is to hold people accountable. As a health coach when somebody tells me their goals, and we set up the ‘plan of attack’ and a timeline, my job is to make sure that happens for them. Sending little reminders, weekly sign-ins to do check-offs on the goals that they have set, etc. I hold them accountable.
So when I have a friend…someone who has not hired me…tells me that they are going to lose weight, stop smoking, stop drinking, start exercising, change a personality trait, I expect them to do it. My husband says I have very high expectations of my clients AND my friends. Basically, if you say you’re going to do something, I expect you to do it. This works really well as a health coach, not so much as a friend 😳. I am working on the ‘Just Let Them’ theory with my friends. Although as a health coach, it’s more like ‘Don’t Let Them’. With my friends the problem is when they tell me things they’re going to do it is very hard for me to ‘just let them’ not follow through, and to watch them fail. But that’s what makes a health coach so important. Someone to hold you accountable to remind you what you said you were going to do, and to help you stay on track. Just know that if you hire me as your health coach I’ll expect you to do what you say you’re going to do and ‘Don’t Let You’ fail. And as a friend, just know that I’m working on ‘just letting you’. 👊🏼

My sweet step-mother fell at the age of 92. Her emergency lanyard didn’t work and she spent the night on her floor until someone found her the next day. It was heart wrenching to see this happen to her. In her honor I have offered to help those in our community learn how to get up off the floor if they fall. We get a lot of ‘lift assist’ calls at TAVFD. We aspire to make these calls less common. If you or someone you know might benefit from a private session at the Firehall or at your home please email or call.
Testimonial:
Before having training with Penny, I was afraid to even get onto the floor. If I did happen to get on the floor, I would have to crawl my way over and hope that I could find a chair to ease myself up. Now I have no fear of getting up and down off of the floor.
