#116 - Do you Really Need a Coach? A Lesson About Guidance
In this episode of Talking Nutrition, Johan shares his experience of trekking through the Himalayas, and a lesson about guidance. You'll learn about one of the very few REAL shortcuts in life, and how through accessing someone else's knowledge, skills, and experience you can reach your goals faster and more effectively (with fewer mistakes).Nothing improves your journey as much as having someone there with you on your journey. Someone who’s on your team, who can guide and support you, and make the right decisions. You need a guide who can help you make objective decisions.Things will get difficult. And your chance of success massively increases through mentoring, coaching, and other forms of guidance and accountability…Weekly Article:https://www.odysseycoachingsystems.co/do-you-need-a-coach/Inquire About Coaching & get a FREE Callhttps://www.odysseycoachingsystems.co/online-nutrition-coaching/Timestamps:(0:00) Introduction - Lessons from the Himalayas pt. 1(9:14) Do I need a guide?(13:10 )The truth about investing in yourself(19:09) You don't have to figure it out on your ownWatch this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/TuyDGkLb8Mk More from Talking Nutrition and Odyssey Coaching Systems 👇🏼Follow @johanvesters_ocs on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johanvesters_ocs/Read the blog - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/blog/Watch TN on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@talkingnutritionpodcastCoaching applications - https://odysseycoachingsystems.co/online-nutrition-coaching
