I cant even begin to explain how much I have learned about nutrition and myself as a coach. Emma and Emilia are two of the most effective communicators I’ve ever come across who just give you the knowledge you need to become a great coach.

Facebook community support

Become enveloped in, and empowered through, a network built on evidence-based nutrition, but also trust, compassion and authenticity.

You will gain exclusive access to regular live discussions with Emilia and Emma, giving you the chance to ask your questions about the course itself, nutrition, health and fitness in general, providing you with a pocket of transportable knowledge to empower your daily discussions and decisions. Both Emilia and Emma have successfully developed and managed worldwide online communities and the EIQ community will provide that network for you and support you in overcoming your imposter syndrome and using it to your advantage.

"Where do I begin. It is worth every penny. The depth and breadth of information delivered was incredible. I felt like I could action the information I had straight away - which tells me I understood it. It has been invaluable. There wasn't a point where I felt overwhelmed or bogged down by too much science talk. Every lecture felt like I was ACTUALLY learning something."

About you (a note from Emma & Emilia)

Do you feel like an imposter? Doubt your own knowledge? Wish you could feel confident in your message as a coach? Or long for someone you respect to bounce ideas off and get some feedback?

We recognise that as a fitness professional, it’s not only your knowledge holding you back from maximising your client results (and business success). It’s the application of that knowledge to the real world, the development of skills of behaviour change, the evaluation of your clients and the ability to provide a person-centred approach to change. If you’re reading this, you’re already a coach who cares a lot, we know that, but you deserve to translate that empathy and care into successful client journeys and a more successful business.

Being a personal trainer or coach can be lonely, and even the most introverted of us still need authentic connection with other like-minded people. We’ve been amazed by the connections built in the EIQ community between students and graduates, many of whom have formed personal as well as business partnerships. We, too, have made some incredible connections.

Having been in your position, we completely recognise the impact of imposter syndrome on your business, your self-assurance in authority with your clients as well as your business and marketing. For a lot of you, rather than treating your imposter syndrome as evidence that you’re doing something brave, it stops you from pushing for what you deserve. We have a huge focus of this in EIQ, testament to our core value of empowerment, and you’ll see many of our students and graduates testifying to their new found confidence and the impact this has on their client relationships.
