Enhancing Your Client-Connection with a Health Coaching Mindset
"You Can't Stop the Waves, but you Can Learn to Surf" is a quote by Jon Kabat Zinn who brought Mindfulness into the mainstream. And we can't stop aging, but we can learn to help our clients stay on their fitness path (and ride the Aging Wave) through life's events and transitions. Therefore, it’s important to understand as we age, what is changing, and how the support of our clients may need to change as well.
Objectives:
1 - Begin to think more like a Health Coach
2 - Understand how to craft questions to elicit meaningful answers from your client about their health goals
3 - Start to see how you can incorporate the Health Coaching mindset into your current Fitness Professional practice to provide value added services - especially in our more virtual-based environment
4 - See the "Aging Wave" through a new lens, organized by the differences in each decade
