Foundations of Health and Wellness Coaching (Level 2) continues your training journey where you’ll learn the practical application skills and specific tools you need to start running coaching sessions.
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 within real-life situations.
By the end of this course, you will have all the elements you need to undertake a basic health and wellness coaching session based on the structured client session guidelines while demonstrating key coaching skills.
By delving deeper in the skills and principles in level 2 you may find you are sufficiently engaged to further your training and go on to the next level where you really learn to be a coach.
