Finding reliable nutrition
information on the internet can be an enormous challenge. This is true whether
healthcare consumers are trying to manage or reduce their weight, live with a
chronic medical condition like diabetes, or just want to improve their overall
health. Herbalife
Nutrition
understands this challenge, which is why the 41-year-old wellness company has
made quality nutritional content readily available to its team members.
Taking this approach makes
it easy for the company’s teams of independent distributors to provide clients
with relevant and up-to-date nutrition information in multiple formats. After
all, one of the leading goals of Herbalife coaches is to assist their clients
in making the most informed healthcare choices possible.
What
Is an Herbalife Coach?
The term
“coach” is synonymous with sports, where it typically represents
one person motivating and directing the play of the entire team. As people have
become more in tune with their wellness over the past several years, the word
coach as a descriptive term has come to include one-on-one and small-group
mentoring. The leadership team at Herbalife Nutrition has empowered its
independent distributors to take on a coach or mentor role with the clients
they serve.
Herbalife coaches
understand that each person they work with has a unique starting point and
destination in mind. They offer nutritional guidance, motivation, and a safe
place for clients to vent frustrations, among many other things. Coaches work
with clients both individually and at Herbalife
Nutrition Clubs
that meet in a community setting.
Herbalife
Nutrition Coaches Receive Recognition from the Brandon Hall Group
The fact that independent
distributors act as coaches to their clients, rather than simply salespeople,
is one thing that truly sets Herbalife apart from other wellness companies.
Entrepreneurs who have joined the Herbalife team have done so because they are
lifelong learners who want to pass their knowledge on to others looking to
improve their health. With assistance from proven nutrition products, Herbalife
coaches help steer their clients towards weight loss or management, better
sports performance, and permanent behavioral change.
Recently, the Brandon Hall
Group recognized Herbalife’s Better Coaching training program in two separate
categories. These included Best Use of a Blended Learning Program and Best
Advance in Coaching and Mentoring. The organization has a long history of
recognizing excellence in learning and leadership in the health sciences.
Herbalife
Nutrition Clubs Now in 17th Year of Operation
The first Herbalife
Nutrition Club met back in 2004 in Mexico City. Graciela Mier and Enrique
Varela, Herbalife independent distributors based in Mexico, proposed the idea
after realizing that many community members wanted to consume a more
nutritionally sound diet but did not know how to go about it. Another problem
they recognized was that people in the Mexico City community could not always
afford to purchase an entire canister of meal replacement shakes containing the
protein they needed for a healthier diet.
Mier and Varela came up
with the idea of breaking down the meal replacement shake canister into
individual servings. People could then buy the individual servings of protein
shakes at Herbalife Nutrition Club meetings.
Herbalife clients received
aloe and tea in addition to single-serving protein shakes while meeting with
independent distributors and had a chance to ask questions. The early feedback
was so positive that Mier and Varela soon began offering fitness classes at
their club meetings. Nutrition Clubs now meet in hundreds of communities
around the world.
How
Local Herbalife Nutrition Clubs Can Benefit Entire Communities
Losing weight and making
permanent healthy lifestyle changes is not easy for anyone. The prospect is
especially overwhelming for people attempting to reach these goals on their
own. Joining a Herbalife Nutrition Club provides a
crucial sense of community and belonging. People who attend club meetings
benefit from the support they give and receive, especially those who have
similar health goals.
