Career Clarity: The Value of the Tribe

In this Changemaker Career Clarity session, Carly Banks chats with Brodie Welch about the value of establishing a tribe. Brodie is a Yoga Health Coach and Chinese medicine practitioner who has recognized how much easier and faster her clients evolve when they are supported by a group of their peers. As a coach, working with a “tribe” makes her job easier and much more enjoyable and allows her to work from anywhere.

Motivation wanes quickly. To effect real change, you need the support of like-minded people working toward similar goals – a tribe. Within a tribe, people identify their similarities, establish meaningful connections, and support one another on their personal growth paths. As a yoga health coach, leading a tribe makes your job easier and holds you accountable to your own high standards.

• How a establishing a tribe makes your job as a yoga health coach so much easier and much more fun.
• Why the YHC annual ticket model is valuable to you and your clients.
• How our tribe helps us overcome our fear of or resistance to identity evolution.
