Cory Sterling is a lawyer. But not any lawyer. Cory is a cool lawyer. A holistic health nut himself, Cory left the shiny and very corporate white-collar world of law to help health professionals set up their businesses in a way that keeps them protected.
Your number one protection is going to be watching your language and staying within your scope of practice but a very close second on the list is to have your terms and conditions, waiver, privacy policy, and client agreement all buttoned up (from a legal perspective). Good news – Cory walks us through this in a way that (believe it or not) is kind of fun!
Cory’s business, Conscious Counsel, provides legal counsel for creative, ambitious and heart-leading business owners who build communities and make the world a better and healthier place.
During our conversation, we get into topics such as the biggest problems coaches have getting started with the legal aspects of the business, how to navigate the law when there is no definition for health coaching, where the biggest issues with the law originate, and what Cory calls the Screenshot Defence. We also dig into how often coaches really get sued, what is and is not in the scope of practice, the legal aspect of supplements and providing diagnostics. And we cover a whole lot more in this fun conversation about the law.
