The Coaching Approach & Mindset

Module 1 explores the health coaching approach, how it is different to the traditional 'expert' approach, how the coaching mindset creates the environment for change and introduces the behaviour change models that we use in health coaching.

Coach-Client Alliance & Communication 

Module 2 explores the coach-coach alliance and the foundation communication skills of active listening -open ended questions, affirming, reflecting, summarising, using silence and non-verbal cues. 

Increasing Readiness to Change

Module 3 explores the stages of change. You will discover the role of importance and confidence in readiness to change, how to assess readiness and tailor your strategies and communication to best support your client. 

Motivation

Module 4 explores the different types of motivation, how connecting to values and imagining a positive future increases motivation and strategies that increase motivation.

Confidence

Module 5 explores the external and internal barriers and facilitators to change, how recognising strengths, learning from the past and and reframing negative thoughts and beliefs can increase confidence.

Goal setting

Module 6 explores the process of goal setting, considering the client's readiness and all the factors that need to be considered to form an action plan for success.

The Health Coaching Process

Module 7 explains the health coaching process. From the initial discovery call, the introduction through to increasing readiness and goal setting, and how this is adapted for the different stages of change. 

Dealing with Difficult Clients

Module 8 looks at how disharmony or discord is created and the strategies you can use to overcome the sustain talk that you will often hear when clients express resistance to change.

Reviewing Client Progress

Module 9 explores how we review our client's progress. Whether they have taken action, taken some action or no action at all, the coaching approach is to learn from the past, explore with curiosity and non-judgement and revise the goal and the action plan to ensure the clients feels it is important and feel confident they can achieve it. 

Coaching in Action

Module 10 brings together all of the health coach specialist skills: discovering a client's reasons for coaching, establishing a vision, determining values, understanding importance, building confidence to overcome obstacles, goal setting and the process of conducting a review session.
