How to master taking hard feedback and being called the 'easy' instructor
Listen now
Description
Ever felt the sting of being called 'the easy instructor'? Or, on the other hand, "the hard" instructor? Whatever the label, taking feedback from someone who doesn't exactly vibe with your class format can feel hard, and it's come up multiple times in my Instructor Magic community. In this episode, we talk about what to do when this happens, what it means, how to adjust (and if you should), and another perspective that might be just what you need.  Key Takeaways: Navigating Feedback: Insights into handling feedback, especially when it challenges our perceptions of our teaching style.The Art of Accessibility: Strategies for making group fitness classes accessible and aspirational for a diverse range of abilities. *Note, we talk about this on a scale of beginner to veteran, not necessarily to adjust to disabilities or other considerations when talking about accessibility. Beyond the Trends: A critical look at how fitness trends can shape our teaching but might not always align with what participants need or want.Community Building: The importance of creating an inclusive environment where everyone, from first-timers to seasoned enthusiasts, feels welcome and valued.Personal Reflections: A candid discussion on personal growth, dealing with conflicting feedback, and finding one's unique voice in the fitness industry.Instructor Magic Community: An invitation to join a supportive community dedicated to empowering fitness instructors through connection, mentorship, and shared experiences.Want to level up in 2024?
