#44 Coaching Lessons Every PT Should Steal From Therapy (w/ Krista Scott-Dixon)

from The Small Group Gym Pod · host Stuart Aitken

This week I'm joined by Krista Scott-Dixon, one of the most respected coaching educators in the world and author of Applied Nutrition and Coaching: Counselling.Rather than talking about programming or nutrition, we explore something that's arguably far more important: the coaching relationship.We discuss what PTs & in-person coaches can learn from counselling, why remembering the little things can transform client retention, how to repair fractured coaching relationships, and why trying to "fix" clients is often the wrong approach.You'll learn:Why the coach-client relationship matters more than technical knowledge.The simple behaviours that make clients feel genuinely cared for.The biggest mistakes that quietly damage coaching relationships.Why behaviour always serves a purpose (even unhealthy habits).How to help clients create better habits without relying on willpower.Why experiments beat advice.How to stop caring more about your client's goals than they do.Practical lessons from counselling that every PT can use immediately.Find out more about KSD:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stumptuous/ Website: https://kristascottdixon.com/Her new book (Applied Nutrition Coaching Counselling Practice): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Applied-Nutrition-Coaching-Counseling-Practice/dp/B0GYQM4SP1/
