In this program, experienced wellness coaches Michael Scholtz, MA, and Greg Hottinger, MPH, RD, and moderator Julie Schwartz MS, RD, share how to effectively use a coaching approach when reviewing goals with clients.

With a focus on creating a more effective and efficient flow for your goal review process, the program will explore how health professionals can use specific coaching tools, such as appreciative inquiry and motivational interviewing, to tap into the power of positivity, and a strengths-based approach to change and foster positive energy, trust, and rapport with clients.

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Implement a client follow-up session in a way that fosters positive energy, trust, and rapport.

• Implement the goal review process using a strengths-based approach and empathy reflections to create a positive frame for the rest of the conversation.

• Support the client in focusing on possibilities instead of solutions by discovering personal strengths, championing successes, and staying judgment-free when encountering challenges.

• Support and empower the client to choose appropriate next steps.

At the turn of the 20th century (1900-1902), life expectancy in the U.S. for men and women was 47.9 and 50.7 years, respectively. Fast forward to 2010—and life expectancy is 75.7 and 80.8 years—and this trend continues to climb according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)/National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
