Blogger Chris Attwood recently interviewed Hilton Johnson, the man behind Health Coach Training and Health Coaching U. Here are some choice excerpts:
- Health coaching is a niche market of coaching. In fact, I think I read recently somewhere it’s the fastest growing niche market of all coaching right now.
- [S]tudies have shown now that in corporate America, companies that are investing in health coaching are getting a return of two-and-a-half to seven-and-a-half dollars for every dollar they’re investing into it.
- I think people who want to make a lot of money and be in business for themselves might want to look at health coaching. Certainly, there are other huge benefits, and those are helping other people, making a difference in healthcare, improving one’s own health, and caring for somebody who you love. All of those are wonderful, wonderful benefits.
- A health coach basically helps people to do what they know they should be doing anyway. What is that? We all know that we need to be exercising more. We all know we need to be eating better. We know that stress is a known killer. We know smoking, drinking, unhealthy behavior and habits cause poor lifestyles and they cause problems. We know that people need to have balance in their lives.
