Speaker: Nicole Wright, Female Fitness & Perimenopause Coach
What made you choose this menopause coaching diploma instead of other options?
Nicole Wright: I chose the coaching menopause diploma with Lauren because of a video I watched on a bus on my way back from work one day. er Lauren was doing a talk somewhere and I don't even know how I came across that video, I genuinely couldn't tell you now. And what she said immediately pulled me in. I already had an interest in perimenopause, I'm in the fitness industry and I work with a lot of perimenopausal women, so I'd been looking around. And just how Lauren spoke really resonated with me and so I thought I'm going to look at this course, so I don't think I really looked at any other courses, I think it was knowing straight away that. It was, I wanted to work with Lauren.
What specific challenge or uncertainty did you have before enrolling, and how has the training resolved that?
Nicole Wright: The major uncertainty I had before I enrolled on the course was whether I would get all the way through it. I've done a few courses before, paid quite a lot of money, and haven't stuck with them for various reasons. So I thought this is um quite a long time, the course is quite long, um, it's quite a lot of money for me. Um, am I going to stick to it? Um I've now just had the last session and I'm well on my way to nearly finishing with my practise clients. So, um, it kept me engaged the whole time. The fact that you have to show up live was the game changer for me, like total game changer, meant I had to be there and I had that accountability every single week. Mm
How has this diploma changed your confidence, career, or business results so far?
Nicole Wright: As a personal trainer, I work with a lot of women. Many of them are going through perimenopause, as I am myself, and having this diploma has really boosted my confidence that I can support these women. I understand much better what they are going through. I am able to help them. A lot better than I feel like I could before, signpost them, um, in the right direction if they need it as well. And also really important for me, I feel like it has added, um, an extra element to my business that I am really going to, um, build on over the next few months.
What surprised you most about the experience?
Nicole Wright: What's really surprised me about this course is just how much I've enjoyed it. I wasn't sure if I was just gonna turn up each week, um, listen to a call, go off it and sort of tick that box. And I have turned up to all this course because I really wanted to and I was every Friday, really looked forward to 2 p.m. when I would join the group of other amazing um ladies and listen to Lauren. And interact and it's just been such a great experience and I've really immersed myself in the learning outside of sessions because I have enjoyed it so much and I've just wanted to continue learning. So that's it's just been a fantastic experience.
Who would you recommend this diploma to, and why?
Nicole Wright: I would recommend this diploma to um anybody who's interested in perimenopause, but really specifically, if you are in the fitness industry, I absolutely think this course will really, really help you support the women you are training um to a much higher. higher level, really get that insight to what they might be going through and how you can help them. Um, just think it's almost a non-negotiable that we should all understand about perimenopause so that we can help the women that we work with, um, to the best of our ability.
