Coaching cult of mediocrity

Today I’m talking about coaching. When I say coach I’m talking about anyone who educates others about anything. From preschool to post doc, little league to pro athlete, boutique studios to big box gyms, school counselors to corporate consultants. Coaching of any kind is a business of change making and you can make it big or you can make it small and everything in between. But without courage, creativity and collaboration you can get lost in that cult of mediocrity filled with all the weight loss gurus, self love sisters and money making motivators out there.

Now before you clutch your pearls and get your panties in a twist, I’m not saying that any of those categories of coaching lack value. What I am saying is that they only scratch the surface when it comes to what’s possible, when it comes to real life changing influence because most of them aren’t saying anything new. That is what keeps those folks small. In the same way that social media has become a void of real thought in its pursuit of thought leadership, coaching space is also becoming a void, filled with mediocre messaging about physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and wellbeing.A literal land of mimics and mimes acting out the status quo of preapproved ideas in a space that should be exploding with creative individuality if for no other reason than all human beings are unique and we claim to be here to help other human beings.

As a part of my mission to bring a legacy of resilience through movement, each month you can join me for a hike on the bike trail followed by a free trauma informed vinyasa class back at the studio on Main Street. Go to savagegracecoaching.com to see the calendar and join my newsletter, Yoga Life on Main Street, to stay up to date on all the latest studio news, events and gossip. And now… on to this week’s episode.
