Excuses | Ep 5

from The Health Coach Show Hosted by The Health Coach Show

In this episode Sharon and Shivaun, dietitians and HCANZA accredited health coaches, explore common excuses, what we may feel or do when we hear our clients give us 'excuses' for why they haven't made a change. Excuses are in fact valuable, as they are the client telling us exactly why they are stuck, or feel unable to take action. What can we do when we do hear excuses? Get curious, acknowledge and validate the client's experience, support them to discover all the barriers so they can evaluate and sort them, and then explore what can they do to overcome these obstacles. The final step is to support clients to come up with a plan. At Accredited Health Coaching Australia, we've developed health coach training courses, incorporating evidence based health behaviour change interventions and techniques that promote self-efficacy, self-determination and self-responsibility. You'll be introduced to a toolbox of motivational interviewing, positive psychology, the transtheoretical model and health and coaching psychology to assist you in supporting clients to achieve sustainable health behaviours and outcomes.​​ HCANZA approved program provider.
