Wellbeing management for clients and coaches
Understand how working from a whole person, wellbeing approach is able to take the current health paradigm of a more clinical and clinician-led approach to a level where the client is able to embrace their health literacy and wellness. And, explore a client-led approach that will enable you to partner with clients to meet their desired goals.
Coaching to evoke change
In this topic you'll 'travel' from motivational interviewing methodology all the way through to the beautiful 'coach what is in front of you' approach of ICF (International Coach Federation) style of coaching. Well College Global uses the international gold standard coaching model by ICF throughout its coaching programs so your coaching style will be polished, effective and transformative.
Psychology and health psychology
Understand human nature from how we learn, how habits are formed and unformed, the role of personality in behaviours such as food choices, motivation and how we can use systems to support client change.
Coaching models applied to real life
So often study comes with theory, concepts and models. However, applying any that these concepts that might be relevant in your sessions, is the key to making them relevant in an actual coaching situation. You'll unpack models such as the Transtheoretical Model of Behaviour Change, and we'll take this to the next level by unpacking tools such as wellbeing assessments. You can and will experience these and other tools in coaching practice and also as part of your discovery sessions you'll offer potential clients. One of the most challenging aspects to coaching is finding and converting clients and you'll start to gain knowledge and experience around both in this subject, with other subjects in our coaching programs advancing this further.
Setting up and running successful coaching sessions
In this topic you'll develop your understanding and practice of how to establish the framework for each coaching session to ensure that the client stays focused on their goals, and by the end of the session feels motivated, clear and energised to take action. As you begin to grow your coaching skills you will increasingly be able to evoke awareness within clients. You'll learn techniques help you to evolve from offering advice or doing the 'heavy lifting' for clients, to being adept at partnering with clients to help them see their own intuitive and resourced or create a process to gain the resources they need in order to live the life they wish.
Wellbeing modalities and techniques
Lastly, you'll begin your exploration of the world of wellbeing diving into areas such as intuitive eating, somatic therapies such as red light, EFT, stress management, sleep coaching, self-efficacy and more. You will also review the factors that negatively impact on wellbeing such as EMF, endocrine disruptors, glyphosate, POAFS and much more. These specialised topics are developed further in other subjects.
