Budget-Friendly Ongoing Education - You Need This!
My favorite free resources to up level you as a coach.
Hey Fertile Guides!
Ongoing education is a critical part of being a quality coach. If you recall, this is one key point in the Fertile Guide Pledge:
I agree to intentionally pursue continuing education.
One reason people come to us is because we have prioritized learning and translating that information into simple terms. The more adept we are in topics pertaining to reproductive health, fertility nutrition, lifestyle modifications, etc., the easier it is to provide thorough answers and support our clients in taking strategic steps. Additionally, the task of evaluating new information becomes simpler because our knowledge base helps to quickly differentiate fact from fiction.
Often, when we hear “Continuing Education,” dollar signs begin to flash in our minds. It’s no secret that additional training programs are expensive, often in the thousands. While the material taught is no doubt helpful, it just isn’t realistic to enroll in more than one or two of these programs in a short time span. Thankfully, high-dollar programs are not the only option for growing!
Today, I want to share some of my favorite free resources for ongoing education so you can confidently grow as a health coach without selling your right arm:
Youtube (i.e. Rupa Health, Precision Analytical, Fullscript)
Podcasts (i.e. DUTCH Podcast, The Root Cause Medicine Podcast with Dr. Carrie Jones, The Gutsy Gynecologist Show, Wholistic Matters, Dr. Ruscio Radio)
Reputable Websites (i.e. Natural Fertility Info, To Make A Mommy)
Some Instagram Accounts (i.e. Dr. Kalea Wattles, Sophia Pavia, RD, Dr. Naomi Whittaker, Dr. Leah Gorton, Fullwell) ~ Be careful here to not just assume everything you read on Instagram is true!
