Introduction

Welcome to Episode 4! I am your host, Dr. Moira. I hope you are enjoying our month of podcasts on focus and efficiency. This week we wrap up our month with the Put It Into Action challenge. If you missed Episodes 1-3 you may want to start with those before tackling our challenge. All episodes are available and waiting for you on behealthyhive.com as well as all of your favorite podcast providers.

For those of you just tuning in, the Coaching Hive podcast looks at topics and concerns that impact health coaches along their business journey to guiding clients to improved health and wellness. The Coaching Hive empowers coaches to be focused with their learning intentions while maintaining forward business momentum.

Here at the Coaching Hive, our mission is to be effective, efficient, and have fun so that work becomes a joy, and you have dedicated time for the important things in life like your family, friends, and hobbies.

This podcast is rooted in learning and efficiency. In fact, to be more effective and efficient, each month we will focus on a single topic. That means 12 new learning topics a year AND time to dig in without feeling overwhelmed.

Let’s review a little bit about how this podcast works. At the start of the month, we will introduce our topic and learn a bit about why it is important to you as a coach. In the second and third weeks, we’ll dive a little deeper and explore the opinions and ideas of other coaches as well as the research on the topic. In the last week of the month, I’ll offer you a chance to challenge yourself. This challenge encourages you to experiment and put into practice what we’ve been talking about throughout the month in a very specific and detailed way. I’ll even include a PDF to walk you through the “Put It Into Action” process. You may be thinking, “But, Moira some months have 5 weeks,” and you are absolutely correct! We will always end our month with the “Put It Into Action” challenge. When there are five weeks, we will tuck in a book discussion just before that challenge.

I love hearing about your successes and helping you find solutions when you get stuck. I’m always here to offer ideas and encouragement every step of the way.

Just like me, you might be busy; you’re listening to this podcast as you take care of other tasks. These podcasts will always be child friendly, so go ahead and play it through your speaker while you fold clothes, prep your dinner, or make the bed.

Now that we have those details and reminders out of the way and you know where we’re headed, we can continue with our topic!

The Topic

For the past three episodes, we have been discussing the concept of creating efficiency and focus in our coaching business and in life in general. This is something that, when we spend a little time on, can actually save us time in the long run. It can be difficult to stop and tackle one task at a time, or to sit down and plan out how you want to move through a long “to do” list.

I get it. It can seem like a waste of time to plan your “to do” list rather than just jumping in. The opposite is actually true. When you have a clear plan, it can be much easier to move forward efficiently and effectively.

This brings me to our “Put It Into Action” challenge. At the end of each month, I challenge you to take the month’s concepts and intentionally use the information. Are you ready for this month’s “Put It Into Action” challenge? He
