Becoming a coach requires formal training in the skills and techniques that allow them professional recognition. Start your training journey and discover the power of coaching as a way of enhancing both personal and professional relationships and facilitating behaviour change in others.
Foundations of Health and Wellness Coaching (Level 1 & 2) is a 2-part coaching program that combines both foundation theory learning and practical application skills you need to gain an understanding of how coaching can enhance your work.
Level 1 introduces you to the evidence based theories and models while focusing on the foundational principles and fundamentals of coaching psychology and how you can use these to connect, engage and empower people to change.
Level 2 is where you’ll start putting your theoretical learning into practice and start honing your coaching skills. This ‘live’, trainer-led course involves intensive and practical coach training where you’ll learn the critical skills for connecting clients to their deeper motivators for change, pinpointing their priorities and exploring their readiness to change for different areas of wellbeing.
You will learn about specific coaching techniques including Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, and SMART goal setting, and how to use the coaching model.
Who this course is for:
- Health, fitness and wellness professionals who are looking to learning coaching skills as a professional development, and to add these skills within their current client services.
- Anyone who is interested in training as a Health and Wellness Coach yet is not quite ready to enrol in a larger qualification course and is looking for a short course to “dip their toe in the water
Level 1 and 2 will enable you to:
- Understand the need for a new approach to helping people create lasting lifestyle changes and become familiar with the broad principles of coaching
- Recognise and practice the skills involved in building trust and rapport with a client and demonstrate three core coaching skills – mindful listening, open-ended inquiry and reflecting
-
Conduct an initial planning session with a client which will result in:
- a vision statement of what the client wants and the motivation behind the desire to change
- a set of appropriate three month goals and weekly goals based on process rather than outcomes
- Be introduced to the theories of positive psychology, the transtheoretical model for coach and motivational interviewing and how they can be used to help clients move through ambivalence and gain hope and optimism in their lives
- Understand the scope of practice of the health and wellness coach and recognise when a client should be referred to an alternative health professional
