Why I Became a Coach - Karen Whittle
As a 41+ year-long career elementary teacher and principal, I took care of everyone else but myself. After a 100 - weight release the last two years of my career, I knew exactly what I wanted to pursue in post-retirement...become a health/wellness/life coach/motivational speaker...so I could help others lead empowered, joyous, and healthier lives. I have been in that role since 2015, starting with a Cooper Institute coaching credential, 8toGreat/IdealWeight power coach (2016), Health Coach Institute, Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2020) and have additional training in many other related topics. All this knowledge has helped me become a better-informed coach, but I have found what clients most need…is a coach (not only with knowledge), but one with active listening skills, empathy, and a focus on their individual needs.
Recently (after my husband’s retirement) we have picked up our roots in Kansas and re-planted ourselves in Des Moines, Iowa to be closer to our son and his family. I will continue to work with several Wichita clients on-line and also be open for the plans God has in store for us in the beautiful and great State of Iowa.
I am so grateful to reconnect with my 8toGreat/Ideal “sisters” through Skool.
