We recently connected with Isaiah Green and have shared our conversation below.
Isaiah , first a big thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights with us today. I’m sure many of our readers will benefit from your wisdom, and one of the areas where we think your insight might be most helpful is related to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is holding so many people back from reaching their true and highest potential and so we’d love to hear about your journey and how you overcame imposter syndrome.
I remember the first group fitness class I taught, it had about 60-70 people in the gym. It was destined after that point. Imposter syndrome comes from not putting in the work. I put in the work day in and day out, I spent thousands and thousands of dollars on my continuing education, I spent countless hours trying to understanding anatomy, biomechanics of human movement, boxing trying to be the best trainer out there. When you put in the work confidence comes and whatever syndrome you think or thought you have has now been cured with doing the work.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
My name is Zay I am a Personal Trainer in LA.. My job is simple to connect the dots between the disconnect in the health and wellness industry. I also train boxers and teach the general population how to throw hands and not hate.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Being, punctual, knowing how to communicate and showing empathy.
Nobody wants to train with a trainer who is constantly late, Nobody wants to train with a trainer who cannot articulate a workout movement nobody wants to trian with a trainer who has zero level of empathy.
Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?
I’m a bookworm. I would say Grit by Angela Duckworth is probably the book that made me understand the nuance between Good and Great.
