Dietitian Values

We've all heard the term 'scaling' thrown around in the business world. It's put forward as the ultimate goal - scale your business, serve more clients, make more money etc etc. And as always, I've got questions... Do you even want to scale? Do we all need to want to? Who decided on the definition? Whose values are at play? What does scaling mean or look like if you run it...

What would it look like, what would it feel like, to shift the emphasis from the goal, the outcome, the endpoint  and more towards the process. Particularly your values driven p...

In the business and coaching space there’s a lot of talk about scarcity. A lot of actions and strategies both driven by and based on the manipulation of this very human driver.  The alternative offered up to ‘combat’ scarcity is usually abundance. And this is positioned as the ‘good’ opposite to scarcity. However, I’ve got a bit of a difference around this. So, I want to share some of my thoughts...

Running a business requires a lot of decisions. It requires you to be taking action and moving forward, And as a dietitian or health professional one of the things that can get us stuck is the desire to do the 'right' thing (or not wanting to do the 'wrong' thing).

And I think it star...
