What if you could be successful,
AND healthy AND fulfilled?
You can!
Leaders are like elite athletes-they need stamina, high energy levels, flexibility, and the ability to perform under stress. Most executives are not working from a foundation of wellness & wellbeing. They are sleep-deprived, eating poorly, and sitting more than moving. Often, they struggle with work-life harmony, burnout, disengagement, decision fatigue, and more. It seems like there is not enough time in the day to get everything done, let alone focus on wellness and personal development.
It doesn't have to be like that.
Hi, I’m Traci Fisher. I know what it is like to be a leader who isn't self-leading. I know what it is like to look "healthy" on the outside but to be struggling within.
When I started my second fitness company, I thought I had the answers. I knew how to use exercise & diet to help people meet their goals. We would customize a specific plan to get them exactly where they wanted to go. And it worked. But not for everyone. For some, it worked initially, but then they'd slide back. Then, there were those, like me, who kept their physical wellness on track but were still feeling stressed and tired. I wanted to help people learn how to get physically healthy and stay that way. That meant teaching people how to manage their minds, emotions, and actions. self-coach so that they could continually lead themselves even when the going got tough.
I was on a mission to learn how to create health and happiness.
I learned about the science behind our choices and why we sometimes seem to go against ourselves. I learned how the advances of the Information Age have the potential to block us from our own innate wisdom. I learned that just as there is a systematic way to fuel, rest, and move our bodies safely, efficiently & effectively, there is also a way to do the same with our minds. I hired my own coach and began training my mind as hard as I had trained my body. I began incorporating both physical expertise and wellness coaching into my practice. And, as I did, a model began to emerge.
Wellness +Wellbeing = Wellbeingness®
I call it the Wellbeingness® Model. The model gives us a framework that encompasses both wellness & wellbeing. It gives space to explore, design, and engage in all areas of wellness & wellbeing, or Wellbeingness®. It is based in the science of our bodies and our brains. And, most importantly, it is based on you. It gives you the ability to organize & frame new research, experiences, and health challenges in a way that is in direct alignment with your lifestyle & values.
What is Wellbeingness®?
What's it like to work with Traci?
I first started working out with Traci over 10 years ago for the initial purpose of doing rehab after knee surgery and cardiovascular to strengthen my heart.
What began as simply physical therapy and strength conditioning workouts, has morphed into a regular life coaching session, each and every week, covering all aspects of mind, body and spirit
In over 500 weekly sessions, Traci has never administered the same workout twice, nor has she failed to have prepared for each session, some unique guidance and direction, in the areas of nutrition, mental development or spiritual fulfillment.
I have also had the opportunity to work with Traci in other areas. She is as comfortable presenting to Boards of Directors as she is leading a workout class. Her ability to read audiences and tailor her offerings to specific individual requirements is fascinating.
Traci has built quite a following in Northeast Ohio and I am sure she will take her game to the National level once her busy schedule permits.
I started a Wellness Coaching Program with Traci Fisher in early February 2018. Together, we worked out a realistic plan for me. I was honest about my food and exercise likes and dislikes.
In these past four and a half months, I have lost 28 pounds - almost to my goal of 30! I am eating plenty of healthy, tasty food, drinking lots of water and using the treadmill for a mile most days. This has all become part of my life - now and for the future. I am more energetic and happier with myself.
I have tried lots of programs over many years. I believe I have been successful this time, because the program is specific to me, sensible in it’ approach and includes the element of accountability. Traci coaches me remotely everyday, and we meet and tweak my program every other week.
I am extremely pleased!
Traci makes you feel safe and secure to expose your weaknesses so that you can take a risk and improve over time. By setting goals that are measurable and attainable, Traci builds a customized plan. Every step of the way, Traci is bubbling with positive, joyful energy. She will empower you with the tools to create the best in every opportunity, in the 'gym' and in life.
In life we all have many roles and responsibilities. To be a good wife, mother, daughter, friend, business owner - we know what it takes to do the job well. When life gets too busy, I am guilty of putting my health and wellness last. I will make time for everyone's needs but my own. Traci has helped me find a better level of self care and self love. By caring for myself better, I can care for others better. Traci has help me to:
1. Create a plan and hold me accountable.
2. Make the time to execute the plan. One key is to start my day a little earlier with exercise. This is when there are fewest distractions.
3. Allow myself Grace. Try my best today and know tomorrow is a fresh new opportunity.
Traci has the reputation of being tough. And it's true... She will make you work! But know that Traci is trained and educated in exercise physiology. After months working together, every training session is different! She will keep it fresh, fun and your body will continue to improve and strengthen.
Traci is dedicated and committed in her own personal life to health and wellness; she is a great role model and mentor. Traci makes you want to work to your fullest potential.
I love coaching leaders.
I started my leadership training at The United States Military Academy over 30 years ago. I am drawn to people who are dedicated to a higher cause. I know that if I can help leadership be strong, agile & flexible in both body & mind, then they will gain personal health, energy and performance, AND pass it on to their colleagues, community and families.
You are a leader.
You are smart and high-achieving. You care about making a difference in this world. You are a critical thinker who wants to know the why, not just the how. You intuitively know that you have to lead yourself to lead others.
Be A Healthy Leader.
A Healthy Leader who is energized and focused, primed to make critical decisions quickly.
A Healthy Leader who has the strength, endurance and stamina to lead during the day and connect at home at night.
A Healthy Leader who shows up every day with passion, excitement, high energy & a quiet peaceful satisfaction knowing she is living her dream.

"We have an innate wisdom about our own health and happiness. There is a science to creating Wellness and Wellbeing. When we create them simultaneously, there is nothing more powerful."
A few of the things I believe.
1. I geek out on Newton's Laws, chemistry, behavioral sciences, quantum physics and more. I am a thrill seeker when it comes to learning. Learning becomes wisdom when we apply and play with it.
2. It's not just about the immediate goal.
Your immediate goal is important. And, more importantly, your goals are the way for you to practice personal evolution. When you practice self-awareness, you become a better leader. That evolution transcends your goals and brings meaningful fulfillment to your life.
3. It's supposed to be uncomfortable.
This isn't about no pain, no gain. When we are consciously changing ourselves, it takes work. It is supposed to be hard. That is the currency of transformation. When you work hard and learn how to be uncomfortable, that is the gain. Being comfortable with discomfort elevates self-leadership and leadership into another hemisphere.
"If you think you can't do it, think again."
Traci is the creator of Live Active, a total body workout series inspired by the book, Heart 411 and published through Public TV. She is a coauthor to Lean Body, Smart Life: 12 Fix Plan to a Happier, Leaner Life, by Judes Scharman.
