Superhero

What is my superhero weakness?

need a more thorough knowledge of physiology

overscheduling myself

having a variety of interests makes it very easy for me to overbook myself — getting better but still not the best

tangents

Oooh! Something shiny!

memory

this is actually a point of shame for me, as my pre-chemo memory was razor-sharp, and now it's like Swiss cheese, making technical conversations difficult — I remember concepts but not words (this is true outside of training as well)

marketing

If I was a gifted marketer, I'd go into marketing ;)

Who are my superhero friends?

those who are supporting this wild adventure of self-employment

family

friends

husband

those from whom clients come

my oncologist

friends/family/neighbors

clients

holders of knowledge/collaborators

registered dieticians

physical therapists

doctors

other high-quality trainers

mentors

What are my other superhero powers?

easy to talk with

From people I know, I've heard, "I've never told this to anyone else" countless times.

You know about the "stranger on a train" phenomenon, when people unload secrets to random straingers? Yeah. I'm the stranger. On a train. In the grocery store. On a plane. I could have been a hair dresser.

years of successfully working with young kids gives me a unique perspective and skill set

flexible when it comes to how fast you learn or grow (or shrink?) — half a pound a week or two pounds a week — up to you

flexible when it comes to details and preferences — not a "my way or the highway" kind of gal except on certain core concepts

can break things down into bite-sized pieces — regardless of the size of your bite

can explain things through a variety of modalities to help people whose brains are different than mine still understand

relentless in finding a solution

if what we're doing isn't working or isn't sustainable, I will find another way to do it or a different thing to do

public speaking

(do require time to prepare — not good off the cuff)

have gotten good feedback

love doing it

lifelong learner

empathy

every few years, try to learn a new activity so I can remember what it's like to be completely unskilled and awkward

I have been through chemotherapy and radiation

I spent most of my life growing from chubby to obese

I'm not a life-long athlete-turned-trainer

Who will my superhero rescue?

"I hate going to the gym"

because I don't like to exercise

because my workout buddy won't go with me

because I'd rather exercise at home

because people are watching me (self-conscious)

those looking to reclaim their bodies, regardless of why

rebounding from medical challenges

having children

other illnesses

cancer

injuries

changing their sedentary lifestyle

What is my superhero language?

layman's terms

happy to use "proper" terminology upon request

want to remove some of the imbalance of power through use of common language

it's more important to me for a client to remember what something does/how it works than what it's called

What is my secret lair?

both

home away from home — comfortable

welcoming, both the first and hundredth time you walk in

not overcrowded with stuff

future

open, bright, crisp

current

intimate, safe

What niche will my superhero dominate?

the deconditioned, looking for lasting change

What does the world see?

a woman who walks the walk

a safe place to get killer results

a fresh alternative to the gym

What is my main superhero power?

Pushing hard using a soft touch instead of brute force

Starting where the client needs to start

Working the mental challenges as hard as (or harder than) the physical challenges

What is my superhero name?

The Transformer

There is more to me than meets the eye

I help others do it to themselves

I did it to myself
