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.
