Ways to Build
Confidence as
a Coach
Top mind-set and lifestyle hacks
that helped me earn a six-figure
income in the coaching industry
By Alyse Parker
I remember first stumbling upon the Institute for Integrative
Nutrition back in 2015 and going deep into a rabbit hole of my
potential future as a Health Coach. Little did I know that five
years later, I would be confidently showing up online, working
with my dream clients, and making a positive impact in the
world all while getting to choose my own hours, travel
whenever I please, and even work in my pj’s if I want.
Here’s the honest truth… Becoming a Health Coach with IIN was
THE jump-start I needed to make this all happen. This program
taught me about 100 different dietary theories and approaches
to health. As a result, I was able to understand that there is no
one-size-fits-all health approach – no matter how much I
wanted to preach and teach about what was working for me.
At IIN, I also learned how to conduct Health Histories, which are
pretty much essential for onboarding new clients. Health Histories
are basically phone calls that you hop on with your potential
clients to learn more about their health, their current goals, and
the obstacles standing in their way from reaching them. The list
goes on about the value I gained from this program.
Today, my focus is to share three core practices to accelerate
