"Being a Leader is such a fulfilling role. It gives me the chance to meet new people, and help them on their Weight Loss journey. Seeing someone reach their Goal, knowing that I helped them along the way is priceless. Being Self-employed means, that I ultimately get back from my business what I put into it" - Nina

Be a Leader - Be your own Boss.

Becoming a Leader is all about making a difference to people's lives by inspiring and motivating them to lose weight through shared experience, expert guidance and first-hand support.

Our weekly meetings at Weight Watchers are where we have built our reputation during the last four decades, and they continue to be the essential element in our success. Here, we actively strive to inform, educate and inspire our members to lose the weight they want to.

"I feel so privileged at being able to help people through their weight loss journey and seeing them make big differences in their lives" - Allison

The success of our meetings lies in the fact that our members feel motivated, cared for and part of a group. This is the core of your task. As a Leader, you use the knowledge and expertise gained through the extensive training to provide specialist advice and guidance on our unique educational approach to weight loss. You'll also be able to draw on your own weight loss success story, from when you first joined a meeting to when you reached your goal, and so take a sensitive, supportive and caring approach. Naturally outgoing, you'll also be a good communicator who can quickly build a rapport with your members and inspire them to succeed.

This is also a fantastic opportunity to become your own boss and run your own business. You can choose when you work and how often. It's a combination of your own freedom and the opportunity to help others.

We'll give you our expert training to enable you to develop your skills and provide you with key topics for meetings and you, such as preparing and delivering motivational meetings, helping members achieve their weight loss goals and find solutions to challenges on the way and handling all the necessary paperwork.

"I love to see members’ confidence grow as they lose weight. I love being my own boss and the more effort I put into my business the more money I earn and the more members achieve their goals" - Michele

Leaders normally start by running two meetings a week. As your confidence and experience grows, we hope your number of weekly meetings will too. Each meeting usually lasts an hour. It's up to you to build a friendly, open and relaxed environment. You'll spend time with each member at the scales then lead an engaging discussion on weight loss. Drawing on your own experience, you'll help your members to stay focused, maintain their momentum and establish the best possible eating habits. You should also be able to commit time to preparing for your meetings and following up with each individual member.
