Change Maker: Turn Your Passion for Health and Fitness into a Powerful Purpose and a Wildly Successful Career

Great book with alot of info and resources

Not only does this book come with a heap of great advice from John Berardi, but it also comes with lots of practical forms /questionnaires for you to complete to help with your thought process and to bring clarity to your thoughts and career direction. The Change Maker is a compelling read, and once you've read it I'm sure, like me, you'll be revisiting it from time to time to pull out the nuggets of insightful and practical wisdom which you can apply in your business. A must-read.

I can’t recommend this book enough, one of the best books out there to really help you on finding your true purpose and your strengths.I have this book as a normal Book, Ebook and Audio. Everything about Dr. John worth reading, listening as you will always improve yourself as a person and your knowledge.

i still reading it and working on the exercises, i think that is a book that you have to read and apply, could be a long time, but at the end for sure will be a great investment of time

This book is paramount for anyone in the health/wellness industry, especially if you are thinking of opening your own business. In fact, anyone wanting to open their own business in the service industry should read it. The online downloable worksheets are a wonderful edition that allows the reader to reflect on their own experiences, processes, and goals!

I have followed John Berardi for a large part of my career. I have been certified through Precision Nutrition at level 1 and 2. I have also had the opportunity to learn in more personal settings from leadership in PN, as well as become a teaching assistant to apply the education these leaders prioritize to us. This along with as many articles and talks that JB as I can keep up with. With this context, it is a given that his book would be received very well for someone in my perspective.John delivered even more than I could expect in this book. I was surprised at how much applicable content could fit in 300 pages. I enjoy the way he presented the book even down to the font, color, and layout changes to further emphasize key takeaways for each chapter. It's a true reflection of how coaching is most effective in a sense, to reflect and summarize in order to check for understanding. It is a great way to keep attention going for each subject while ensuring each reader is taking the big rocks away. The content of each chapter effectively leads the reader through the big picture of how to navigate a successful and purposeful career (and life).Starting with a current picture of the health and fitness industry's current opportunities to get a zoomed out look, followed by internal work of developing a genuine purpose and identifying unique abilities (zooming in). Only after this does JB lead the reader through professional insight into who our clients are and how to identify needs/wants, how to approach coaching in a way that is productive to facilitating change for these clients, and how to manage a business in an efficient manner. Many coaches come into the field with a lot of education within the sciences (I know I did) but very little within making this knowledge truly valuable for clients and for our business. He outlines very practical considerations for these subjects that can and should be applied regardless of the population you choose to serve in your change making path.Bottomline, John Berardi is one of the best leaders in this industry. He is practical in his approach due to the fact that we are working with people in the end. His lessons are very valuable to anyone who is working to building their career in health and fitness or someone like myself who has been in this industry for many years. I utilized every activity recommended to its full extent, the results and responses gained were valuable beyond measure. This book will become a consistent go-to reference for myself. As a mentor, this has already made one of the first books that comes to mind to recommend to a young coach in search of professional guidance/insight. As a professional in the industry of any experience level or identity, this book will be of great value to you. I could go on much longer about this book, so I hope this helps.

Libro pieno di spunti, fatto molto bene, esteticamente accattivante all’interno del libro (se lo comprate capirete il perché)

Ein sehr leicht und schnell zu lesendes Buch, als Unterstützung um den „perfekten“ Berufsweg in der Gesundheits- und Fitnessbranche zu finden. Wenn man es allerdings ernst nimmt und die Übungen durcharbeitet, dann ist man eine ganze Weile beschäftigt. Die Mühe lohnt sich aber!Mein Tipp: einmal zügig durchlesen und dann beim 2. Mal lesen die Übungen bearbeiten.Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt: vieles richtet sich eher an Selbstständige und weniger an Angestellte. Das bringt mich aber nicht dazu einen Stern abzuziehen.
