We were lucky to catch up with Evian Clutch recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Evian, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I found my purpose through a culmination of personal and professional experiences that have shaped me along my journey. I was profoundly influenced by my parents and their dedication to promoting health and wellness since 1978, which created a lasting impact on me.
My 20-year career in the financial industry further shaped my purpose. I had the privilege of helping individuals achieve their financial goals. The satisfaction of seeing clients plan for their financial future was incredibly fulfilling and reinforced my desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Combining these experiences, I realized that my true calling was to integrate my financial experience with my passion for health, and help individuals and families with their overall well-being.
Today, my purpose is to inspire and support others in achieving both physical and financial wellness. This dual approach allows me to make a meaningful impact, helping people lead healthier and more financially secure lives.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m a Wellness and Financial Coach with a background in both fields. My journey began in Puerto Rico, inspired by my parents, who started their Shaklee business in 1978. Shaklee is a nutrition company with a history of over 65 years. Dr. Shaklee, the founder, created the first multivitamin and plant-based protein in the United States. It is the most clinically tested wellness company which has helped fuel athletes to 146 Olympic medals, provides nutrition to NASA astronauts, created the First Earth Day Products, and was the First Climate Neutral Company. We have products lines for nutrition, body and home. And we own over 70+ patents/patents pending. For the past 45+ years we have continued the company’s mission of bringing true wellness to the world by helping people meet their own nutrition goals and to live a healthy lives.
I spent 20 years in the financial industry in Miami, serving as an International Private Banker and Financial Advisor, managing high-net-worth clients from Latin America and holding the title of Vice President in two of the world’s largest banks. This experience was incredibly fulfilling as I helped individuals with their financial goals.
In 2023, I joined my family’s wellness business, and this fall, I will be starting my own financial coaching practice. This dual approach will allow me to help people achieve both physical and financial health, focusing on clients in the U.S. and Puerto Rico in both the Spanish and English markets.
One of the most exciting aspects of my work will be offering guidance to individuals and families, helping them not only with their finances but also with their overall well-being. For example, I have been organizing 7-day healthy cleanse groups, providing daily guidance, recipes, and strategies, as well as a 30-day nutrition plan. The results are amazing! You reset your system, reduce cravings, have more energy, improve sleep, and for those who want to lose weight, it jump-starts weight loss. This is all done with carefully selected supplements, and it’s clinically proven. Shaklee stands behind our products with a 100% money-back guarantee.
At the heart of my work is the belief that true wellness encompasses both physical and financial health. My mission is to inspire and support others on their journey to achieving their goals.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Looking back on my journey, three key elements have been most impactful are: resilience, effective communication, and continuous learning.
1. Resilience- Because adapting and persevering through challenges has been crucial for me. In both the financial sector and the wellness industry, I encountered numerous obstacles but resilience allowed me to stay focused and overcome setbacks.
2. Effective Communication- Clear and persuasive communication is essential, especially when managing client relationships and coaching individuals. It helps build trust, convey complex information, and inspire action. We can improve our communication skills by actively listening, practicing empathy, and being concise and clear in our message. Strong communication is about connection, so always aim to understand and be understood.
3. Continuous Learning- Expanding my knowledge and skills has kept me relevant and competent. Both, the financial industry and wellness sector is always evolving. It is very important to stay informed and adaptable by committing to lifelong learning. We need to stay updated with our industry trends through reading, attending seminars, and networking with professionals. It is important to invest in your education by taking courses and seeking mentorship. Continuous learning enhances expertise and opens new opportunities for growth, no matter your field.
Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?
My ideal client is someone who wants to improve their health and/or plan for their financial future. This includes;
Health-conscious individuals who prioritize prevention through natural nutrition and value quality, clinically tested products over cheap, trending alternatives.
Individuals at any life stage who seek professional guidance to create and execute a financial plan for their life. This includes budgeting, learning how to pay off debts, and planning and saving for big goals such as buying a house, children’s education, and/or preparing for retirement.
Any person who values professional advice, dedicated to continuous improvement, and is ready to learn, adapt, and take action to achieve a balanced, healthy, and financially secure life.
