Peter Improves Posture with TaskHuman
While working from home has a lot of perks, it also comes with some sacrifices, including a less-than-ideal ergonomic setup compared to what you might have (or have had) at the office. Talk about taking a toll on your body, including your posture. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies looked for ways to improve their employees’ health and well-being in an easy and accessible way. And that’s just what Bay Area-based startup, Codefresh, did when they offered TaskHuman to their staff.
It was his stiff back and body from computer work that drove Codefresh employee, Peter DiFonzo, to give TaskHuman a try.
Here are Peter’s top reasons for using the TaskHuman platform:
1. It’s easy to find compatible coaches.
TaskHuman offers calls for as little as 10 minutes up to 90 minutes. These initial calls help coaches understand your pain points and allow you to get a feel for their personality and approach.
For Peter, it quickly became clear someone with expertise in fitness and strength would help to address his stiff body and painful back with sensitivity, while supporting his sessions with his local physical therapist.
TaskHuman’s pool of vetted coaches means you have world-class coaches ready to work with you, right in your back pocket—literally.
2. It’s easy to practice good habits.
TaskHuman allows Peter to find relief for his back issues from the comfort of his own home.
“I finally got tired of waking up stiff and not getting a good night’s sleep and wanted to do something about it,” Peter says.
He explains here:
Knowing TaskHuman coaches are available from your mobile devices gives you the flexibility to schedule 1:1 video calls with coaches when it works best for you. It means you can move seamlessly from working to working out to parenting without losing travel time.
It means there’s no reason not to work on your wellness.
Peter explains:
“The coaching has been awesome,” Peter says.
3. It bypasses barriers to getting help.
Listen to him describe the situation:
TaskHuman coaches don’t just see you as a client, they see you as a determined individual who is working toward your goals. They provide the attention, connection and expertise to move forward on your wellness journey.
“It’s almost as if you’re talking to a friend,” Peter says.
TaskHuman coaches are dedicated to putting people first!
4. It’s easy to make progress.
TaskHuman coaches work hard to make sure you make progress toward your goals – whatever they may be. They can help you break your goals down into manageable, attainable benchmarks. And they know how to push you through the difficult times.
This high-level, in-depth knowledge means that coaches know how to scaffold their coaching to meet each client where they are.
“I’m confident TaskHuman coaches can get me to where I want to go,” says Peter.
Peter describes his quick success:
Progress is multi-dimensional too. When clients see improvement in the initial area they used TaskHuman for, it regularly encourages them to work on other areas of their lives with the help of TaskHuman coaches, too.
It’s the idea that success breeds success. The hard work and resilience built to reach the first goal translates into determination in another area.
Listen as Peter explains:
More and more companies are partnering with TaskHuman to provide wellness benefits to their employees. But sometimes people are still hesitant to reach out for that first call.
“If you’re hesitant, just do it,” Peter says. “You will be glad you did.”
The benefits are high and the risks are non-existent.
