INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
- So tell us a little more about this big change in your career, what motivated you to start the chronically well? What’s the backstory?
- When did you start thinking about changing careers?
- Let’s talk about Crohn’s. So I have to admit I know of the term, but honestly don’t know exactly what the disease is. Can you describe to us a little more about what is Crohn’s disease? From a very high level?
- So is your work specific to helping people with Crohns, or any chronic illness? It’s hard to group all chronic illnesses under the same umbrella, is it not? Or do all chronic illnesses respond favorably to your program?
- Can changing your lifestyle now be preventative for the future? And how do you get that across to someone who doesn’t currently have a problem and thinks their lifestyle is okay? In other words, not to scare people, but is it possible that I may genetic predisposition to a chronic illness that I’m not even aware of, and maybe I’m a month away from it revealing itself? I’m sure most people only seek help after there’s a problem, not before. I’m curious of your thoughts on this?
- Should or can people test for genetic predispositions to chronic illnesses?
- I’m sure there are people listening now who also are thinking about changing careers, but fear taking that plunge. Who might be feeling stuck in a comfy corporate lifestyle. We all have financial concerns, no matter what our financial situation is. What advice would you give to others who might be considering making a career change? What are some lessons you’ve learned so far in your journey?
- I’m going to ask you a tough question. There are many coaches in the world. What gave you the confidence to say to yourself, “I can enter this really competitive landscape and differentiate myself”? And how does one differentiate themselves?
- Tell me about the community aspect to your work. 1 on 1 coaching is necessary. But how can you leverage a community to help people? In other words, we all need accountability partners in order to make sustainable change. It’s hard to commit to something by yourself.
- What is something you wish had known 5 or 10 years ago, that would have made your life so much easier had you known?
- How can we learn more about you and get involved?
